Chronicle of Georgia: Bust with a Cross on the Chest

Bust with a Cross on the Chest. The five-cross flag of Georgia, a medieval symbol revived as the state flag in 2004, carries the same Christian heritage shown on the upper tiers. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. Saint George, the dragon-slaying warrior saint, is Georgia’s patron — his image and his red cross appear across churches, coins and the national flag.
