A pagan town in Libya was victimized by a dragon, which the inhabitants first attempted to placate by offerings of sheep and then by the sacrifice of various members of their community. The daughter of the king was chosen by lot and was taken out to await the coming of the monster, but George arrived, killed the dragon, and converted the community to Christianity. The original design and bright color scheme make this egg a festive home decor object.
