Chronicle of Georgia: Bearded Elder Between Scrolls

Bearded Elder Between Scrolls. Twentieth-century poets such as Galaktion Tabidze carried the Georgian word into the modern age, continuing the chronicle in verse. A portrait in bronze, close enough to read every line of the face and robe. Georgian is written in its own alphabet, one of only a handful in the world; its three scripts — Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri and Mkhedruli — are on UNESCO’s heritage list.
