About this work
Does anyone recognize the bible story depicted here? I'd call this the Trojan Dragon story, but the serpent here is alive and, evidently, leash trained.
Original catalogue wording
Does anyone recognize the bible story depicted here? I'd call this the Trojan Dragon story, but the serpent here is alive and, evidently, leash trained. The fellows on the left with swords appear to be angels, so I guess they support whatever military action this scene depicts. The angels look Ethiopian; the soldiers, European. Church of Ura Kidane Mihret, Zeghie Peninsula, Lake Tana, Ethiopia.
