Exquisite primitive hand carved image of St. George. Dressed with a red and yellow outfit, St. George rides his brown horse. The story tells that during his many adventures, St. George came into a town that was terrorized by a dragon; he fought against the dragon and defeated it. The people thanked him and adopted the catholic faith. Notice the nicely carved details on both figures that give the piece a stunning look. He can be invoked against diseases of the skin, in reference to his martyrdom; he was arrested during the persecutions of Diocletian and his skin was torn with nails, he was burned and finally rubbed with salt. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
