About this work

I regret I didn't capture more of St. George and what must surely have been a splendid horse. However, I hope this dragon, surely the most elaborately rendered of any I saw in Ethiopia, will make up for the disappointment.

Original catalogue wording

I regret I didn't capture more of St. George and what must surely have been a splendid horse. However, I hope this dragon, surely the most elaborately rendered of any I saw in Ethiopia, will make up for the disappointment. And you get a little irate blue devil to boot. Church of Ura Kidane Mihret, Zeghie Peninsula, Lake Tana, Ethiopia.
