FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP!Secure & Speedy USA shipping with Delivery Confirmation Service!The familiar Russian double-headed eagle was in fact a foreign symbol, adopted to demonstrate the imperial pretensions of the Russian Tsars beginning with Ivan III (the Great) in 1497.Ivan married Zoe Paleolog whose uncle Constantine had been the last Byzantine Emperor. From 1497 on the double-headed eagle proclaimed Russian sovereignty over East and West.Western travelers usually perceived the horseman as St. George. Many Russians did it too (because he looks like famous Orthodox Icon St. George and Dragon). He officially becomes St. George in 1730 (Decree of Empress, description of coat of arms). Now St. George is Coat of Arms of Moscow.The two major symbolic elements of the Russian emblem- the two-headed eagle and St. George slaying the Dragon- were both considered Russian state arms.
