Chronicle of Georgia: Bearded Elder Beside Inscriptions

Bearded Elder Beside Inscriptions. Figures holding books and scrolls recall Georgia’s scholars and chroniclers — the people who made sure this history could be told at all. A relief of books, scrolls and the people who wrote them, seen up close on a pillar. Niko Pirosmani, the self-taught painter of feasts and Tbilisi life, is another storyteller of the nation — Georgian art has always loved to narrate.
