Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend. In it, a dragon lived in a lake near Silena, Libya. Whole armies had gone up against this fierce creature, and had gone down in painful defeat. The monster ate two sheep each day; when mutton was scarce, lots were drawn in local villages, and maidens were substituted for sheep. Into this country came Saint George. Hearing the story on a day when a princess was to be eaten, he crossed himself, rode to battle against the serpent, and killed it with a single blow of his lance. George then held forth with a magnificent sermon, and converted the locals. Given a large reward by the king, George distributed it to the poor, then rode away. This statue, `St. George Slaying the Dragon` depicts St. George engaged in battle with the dragon, standing over it to deliver the final blow of its last fight. The statue stands 12 inches tall, is 5 inches wide and 4 3/4 inches deep. Made of cold cast resin, it has a beautiful metallic bronzed finish, to give it the look of metal, and is incredibly detailed, from the texture of the chainmail to the scales of the dragon.
