Today is Epiphany, also known as Three Kings’ Day, the date traditionally designated as the day the Wise Men visited the Christ Child. This limestone relief with the Adoration of the Magi, in the collection of Glencairn Museum, was made in 13th-century France.

The first king (whose arm is broken off) is depicted kneeling and presenting a gift. https://glencairnmuseum.org/christmas-at-glencairn -- source link
