    Found this figure interesting due to the water pouring effect. I always have to pick up a figure or two every year. Fontanini figures are marked Depose Italy on the base. They are very well sculpted and are often copied, usually badly.
    Each figure comes with a little story. Short version is that Gilead was a servant Balthazaar one of the three kings/wisemen. He oured water that appeared to be gold in color. Plus there were robbers and the intervention of a winged being.
    Merry Christmas CW!
