All auctions / Miscellaneous / Icon - Saint George and the Dragon - Basswood - Rare Orthodox Egg - 21 cm
Splendid and Rare Hand-Carved Solid Limewood Orthodox Egg Painted by Hand and Signed - Saint George and the Dragon - With Stand - H 21 cm Vintage from the 1990s - Handmade and not industrial. The work depicts on the front the famous religious icon of Saint George the Victorious who slays the dragon. The painting is rich in minute details, with beautiful shading on the saint's red cloak, on the white horse's trappings, and on the dragon's figure. The scene is enhanced by elegant finishes and details in glossy gold varnish that give brightness to the piece. Artistic features and authenticity details: • Main iconography: On the front is depicted the famous icon of Saint George the Victorious piercing the dragon. The hand-painted painting is rich in details, with carefully blended shades on the red cloak, the white horse, and the dragon's scales, all embellished with luminous finishes in glossy gold varnish. • Upper inscription: Bears the inscription in ancient ecclesiastical Slavic « СТГО ГЕШРЬГИА » (Saint George). • Author's signature at the base: Under the egg is present the authentic hand-painted inscription « исп. С.И.Е. » (Ispolnil S.I.E., meaning "Created by the artist S.I.E."), which certifies its artisanal origin. • Back decoration: The rear showcases the beautiful natural grain of brown limewood beneath the lacquer, enriched by an elegant stylized gold-colored ornamental motif. Dimensions: • Height of just the egg: about 14 cm • Total height (with stand): about 21.5 cm Condition: The item is in perfect condition, with the glossy lacquer well preserved. The turned wooden stand is included but not fixed to the Egg, which rests on top. For perfect stability you should secure it. Perfect as a collectible piece, a sacred art object, or as a high-end gift. I would like to clarify that the first photo of the set was optimized using artificial intelligence solely to place an appropriate background, while all subsequent photos are original shots taken by me personally, which reproduce the object with complete faithful realism. Careful, insured, and trackable shipping.
