Splendid and Rare Orthodox Egg in Solid Linden Wood Hand Painted and Signed - St. George and the Dragon - With Stand - H 21cm Vintage 1990s - Craftsmanship and not Industrial. The piece depicts on the front the famous religious icon of Saint George the Victorious killing the dragon. The painting is rich in minute details, with beautiful shading on the saint's red cloak, on the white horse's harness, and on the dragon figure. The scene is enhanced by elegant finishes and shiny gold varnish details that give luminosity 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 work is rich in details, with careful shading on the red cloak, on the white horse, and on the dragon’s scales, all enriched by bright finishes in glossy gold varnish. • Upper inscription: Bears the inscription in ancient ecclesiastical Slavonic « СТГО ГЕШРЬГИА » (Saint George). • Signature of the author at the base: Under the egg is the authentic hand-painted inscription « исп. С.И.Е. » (Ispolnil S.I.E., i.e., "Made by the artist S.I.E."), certifying its artisanal origin. • Rear decoration: The back showcases the beautiful natural grain of the brown limewood under the lacquer, enriched by an elegant stylized ornamental motif in gold color. Dimensions: • Height of the egg only: about 14 cm • Total height (with pedestal): about 21.5 cm Condition: The item is in perfect condition, with the glossy lacquer well preserved. The turned wooden pedestal is included but not fixed to the Egg which rests on top. For perfect stability you should fix it. Perfect as a collectible piece, sacred art object, or as a prestigious gift. I would like to clarify that the first photo of the set was optimized via artificial intelligence solely to place an appropriate background, while all subsequent shots are original photographs taken by me personally, which reproduce the object in a completely faithful manner. Careful, insured, and tracked shipping.
