Statue of St George and the Dragon – Patron Saint of England – 20 cm
Legend and Craftsmanship
This piece vividly brings to life the tale from the Golden Legend:
- Symbol of Valor: The scene depicts the moment George saves the princess (and the city) by defeating the dragon, symbolizing the triumph of faith and courage over malice.
- Classical Armour: The knight is depicted in stylized Romanesque armour with a crested helm and flowing cape, nodding to his origins as a Roman tribune.
- Intricate Details: Notice the scales on the dragon, the muscle definition of the horse, and the intricate tack, all highlighted by the bronze finish.
Usage and Care Instructions
This statue is designed for indoor display only. It makes a thoughtful gift for history enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone named George. To keep it in pristine condition:
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a fine brush to clean the crevices.
- Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as they may damage the hand-painted finish.
- Handle with care; while polyresin is durable, delicate parts like the lance or the horse's legs can be fragile if dropped.
The base is equipped with a soft layer to protect your furniture surfaces from scratches.
