    Iconography

    Description

    Der in triumphaler Haltung wiedergegebene Heilige Georg mit dem getöteten Drachen zu seinen Füssen erinnert an eidgenössische Wappenscheiben und verweist auf Holzers Familiengeschichte (Wappen). Die technische Umsetzung lässt ein Nebeneinander von Tradition und Innovation erkennen, bei der neben Schwarzlot, Silbergelb und Schmelzfarben auch geschichtetes Opaleszentglas verwendet wurde, das den neusten amerikanischen Trends folgt.
