This is one of a series of seven high-reliefs that tell the story of the events described in the Gospel of Matthew. The work was carved by Nicola Pisano (born 1220/1225 - died 1278/1287), decorates the pulpit of the Cathedral of St Mary of the Assumption, Sienna (UNESCO World Heritage List, 1995) in Tuscany. In this second relief, the Journey of the Magi, three Magi lay before Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, after finding him by following a star. The work is replete with a black magus, an entourage including mastiffs, and four trees to suggest a landscape. This work compliments The Presentation in the Temple and Flights into Egypt (KAS2033) from The Statens Museum for Kunst.
