Mini kit icona ricamata con perline su tela d'artista «San Giorgio»

“St. George” is a young warrior in golden armour with a dark cross. Red, blue and gold.

What the picture shows

The saint is shown to the waist, beardless, with dark curls. Golden-brown armour worked in fine beads in scaled rows covers his chest; the sleeves are blue and a red cloak falls from his shoulders. Both hands hold a dark cross with even arms in front of him. The halo is a double ring of amber beads and the ground is golden rays. A pale name plaque closes the composition at the bottom between two ornamental squares, and a narrow gold border runs round the edge. The armour, the cloak, the ring of the halo and the border are beaded; the face, the hands and the gold ground are left to the print.
