介绍（中）	十二世纪后期，魔法师（智者）向新生儿耶稣献礼物的故事是装饰伊比利亚北部教堂的最受欢迎的圣经主题之一。这些雕塑（另见30.77.6，.8–.9）通常将场景描绘成一场宫廷邂逅。在这里，玛丽和她幼小的儿子坐在敬礼的华盖下。两位法师（曾经由一位现已失传的第三位法师陪同）以虔诚的姿势走近母亲和孩子。所有人物的宽大服装都有助于传达场景的丰富性，让人想起外国代表团访问的场景。与耶稣出生的卑微背景不同，这一崇高的形象是为了庆祝这一事件。右边打瞌睡的是约瑟，玛丽的丈夫，耶稣的养父。他的睡眠暗示了他在马太福音中所描述的预言性梦想，这使他能够保护他的家人。20世纪20年代的某个时候，这些雕塑被拍到镶嵌在塞雷佐·德里奥蒂隆平原圣母教堂的侧墙上，该教堂于18世纪末被废弃。最初，这些雕塑可能位于教堂的正门上方。
介绍（英）	The story of the magi (wise men) offering gifts to the newborn Jesus was among the most popular of biblical subjects decorating northern Iberian churches in the later twelfth century. These sculptures (see also 30.77.6, .8–.9) typically portray the scene as a courtly encounter. Here, Mary and her infant son sit enthroned underneath an honorific canopy. Two magi (once accompanied by a now-lost third magus) approach mother and child with reverent postures. All of the figures’ voluminous garments help to convey the richness of the scene, evoking the setting of a foreign delegation’s visit. At odds with the humble setting of Jesus’ birth, this elevated portrayal serves to celebrate the event. The dozing figure at right is Joseph, husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus. His slumber alludes to his prophetic dreams, described in the Gospel of Matthew, which enabled him to protect his family. Sometime in the 1920s, these sculptures were photographed set into a side wall of the church of Our Lady of the Plain at Cerezo de Río Tirón, which had been abandoned at the end of the eighteenth century. Originally, the sculptures may have been located over the church’s main door.
