Chronicle of Georgia: Figure Clutching a Rolled Scroll

Figure Clutching a Rolled Scroll. 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. Begun in the last years of the Soviet era, the memorial was raised slowly over many years — some details are still unfinished, which only adds to its aura.
