Saint George slaying the Dragon | Size: 2.4x2.8" ( 6.2 x 7.2 cm ) | Made in Russia

The story of Saint George—who saved a city and its princess from the marauding dragon—into a single, dynamic moment. Run through with a lance, the monster roars in agony, frightening this saint's steed. The horse rears up and shies away, eyes wide with fear.  In a feat of remarkable horsemanship, George stands, drops the reins and draws his sword to deliver the death blow. 

A fabulous, traditional Greek-Orthodox Byzantine icon in canonical iconographic style. Lithography, wood, gold-imprinting.
