🧵✨ Handmade Masterpiece on Silk: “St. George and the Dragon

Woven entirely from pure silk using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this breathtaking wall carpet is not just a decorative piece — it’s a story in thread. Depicting the legendary scene of Saint George slaying the dragon, the composition radiates heroic symbolism, spiritual victory, and cultural heritage.

Surrounded by an intricate floral and heraldic border, the rich details — from the knight’s flowing cape to the dragon’s coiled form — are made possible by the luminosity and finesse of fine silk. The top crest and golden griffins hint at European medieval and Byzantine influences, while the scene itself has inspired centuries of artistic interpretation.

Ideal for collectors, historians, or anyone drawn to sacred tales rendered in exquisite craftsmanship, this piece bridges art, myth, and textile tradition.
