Mary, seated in a rose-covered manger thatched with straw, holding baby Jesus. To her left is Joseph, with a bundle of sticks and an axe at his feet. Hovering to Mary's right is an angel in shimmering robes holding a glowing star. The three kings, also richly robed, have removed their crowns and may be offering them to Jesus along with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The background is a woodland filled with greenish light. This painting is based on a tapestry design Burne-Jones did for Morris & Co., which was woven with a different color scheme -- see BUR027.
