Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar..... A favorite scene in The Little Drummer Boy is when the three wise men had their tents pitched in the desert. You could see the city of Bethlehem in the distance. I'm sure that influenced my interest in onion domed architecture.
I love seeking and creating images of Three Kings, or Three Wise Men....I love things that come in threes...and I love crowns....so could it be any cooler that the Ward family crest is 3 crowns??!! These large chess pieces are in our home....the pawn got a promotion today...with a crown of anaglypta. Happy Epiphany.
