Commissioned by Archdeacon Chambres Jones of Bryn Eisteddfod, it reputedly includes his own portrait among the wise men, together with family and servants among their retinue. The view of the mountains is also that of Snowdonia from Bryn Eisteddfod.  (ObjectID=2020 ImageID=4791) Original File Name=_DSC4338.jpg
