Original catalogue wording
The Devil, the dragon and the lower halves of St. George and his horse. The canopy over this painting made capturing the entire image problematic, so I settled for photographing what I knew would turn out fairly well. If I remember correctly, St. George looked brave and serene, and his horse looked perky. Wall painting in the old Church of St. Mary of Zion, Axum, Ethiopia.
