This Collectors Plate shows the three Wiseman (Magi) Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, who traveled to pay homage to the infant Jesus and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. You can see one King astride a horse, one on an elephant holding a goblet full of jewels and a third holding what looks to be a necklace. The plate is wonderfully colored in Shimmering Gold, Turquoise and Royal Blue. Lots of details, swags, tassels.Printed on the plate in German is "Weihnachten 1978" in observance of what is commonly known in English as Christmas.

The shape of the plate is a Squircle (square with rounded edges) with a Quatrefoil Recessed center. You'll notice in the photos that this glass is very thick (weighing over 3 pounds). The Glass Plate comes with a Black Back Plate to use as a backdrop.
