- Description:
- Three large puppets or costumes of the magi in mournful repose. The three are sitting in what may be the back hallway of a church with tiled floors, chipped painted plaster walls; their shoulders are slumped and two have hands out with upturned palms. All three have haloes suspended over their heads, and are dressed in robes, two have full beards. All have unlined faces and are looking sadly away from the camera.
- Notes:
- The Herbert F. Johnson Museum holds two portfolios featuring Bravo's work.
