Serbia St Sava Images - my favorites

[bovec1313]

Orders of St. Sava had been produced by many workshops; each of them had specific image of the saint. There are so many of them and for me it was always fascinating to get all the variants in collection.

Here is complete (I hope) collection of images; from Viennese producers from 1883 to latest image from German workshop of Zimmermann.

You can see how image of the sain had changes during the time. Collector normaly distinguished only ''red robe'' and ''gree robe'' images.

By the way, these are two pages from my book about Serbian decorations.

On external link you can see better, I beleive.

Still don't know how to post larger pics here.

Great photo, thanks. I have a question though- when was the German workshop of Zimmermann model done?

Thanks
