Saint George the Trophy-Bearer

This handcrafted icon depicts Saint George the Trophy-Bearer, shown in the traditional Byzantine style mounted on a white horse as he slays the dragon. 

Saint George is portrayed as a victorious warrior of the Christian faith, piercing the dragon with his spear, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the victory of faith through divine strength. His flowing red cloak and radiant expression reflect courage, nobility, and unwavering devotion to Christ. In the background, the rescued princess and the fortified city emphasize the miraculous nature of the Saint’s intervention, while the hand of God appears above, offering divine blessing and guidance.

The icon is richly detailed with vivid traditional colors and finely executed compositions inspired by historic Byzantine iconography. The background is covered with genuine 24-karat gold leaf, carefully applied by hand. The gold used is real 24K gold. The pigments are specially prepared traditional mixtures, following the methods used in historic iconography. These materials make the icon highly durable and resistant, allowing it to be preserved for hundreds of years, as seen in surviving ancient icons.

Each icon is authentic and handmade by skilled iconographers. Every stage of the process is completed by hand. The wooden panel is specially selected and carved by an expert woodcarver, ensuring stability and quality.
