The pin's silhouette faithfully follows the shape of the character, with irregular contours that trace the design. The visible side features a midnight blue background, contrasting with golden details and touches of red on the headdress and hand. The entire motif is rendered in a graphic style that is both naive and retro, characteristic of certain advertising productions from the second half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wise man's face is finely drawn, with a gentle gaze, a white beard, and expressive features. A red and white striped headdress tops his head, adding a vibrant touch of color to the overall design. The character's hand is folded over his chest, holding what appears to be a stylized object, perhaps an offering, in reference to the Christian tradition of the wise men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe character's robe is distinguished by a large golden area with a slightly patinated appearance, evoking a metallic finish or a gold-effect paint. The contours are outlined with a fine dark border, which highlights the silhouette against the pin's background. No legible text, mark, or inscription appears on the visible side of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire pin is flat, with a smooth and shiny visual rendering, typical of the enamel or resin processes used for this type of vintage advertising object. The surface shows some traces of wear and small irregularities, attesting to its age and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style of this pin is decidedly retro, with deep colors and a stylized design reminiscent of popular productions from the 1970s to the 1990s. This type of religious representation, associated with the tradition of the wise men, was frequently used in religious or festive events or promotional campaigns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is. The visible side shows moderate wear, particularly on the golden parts and the headdress, but no major chips or breaks.
