Chronicle of Georgia: Bearded Figure with a Chalice

Bearded Figure with a Chalice. King Mirian III and Queen Nana accepted Christianity through Saint Nino, making Kartli one of the first kingdoms in the world to adopt it as the state faith. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. “A guest is a gift from God,” says a Georgian proverb — hospitality, the supra feast and its toastmaster, the tamada, are part of the same chronicle.
