Chronicle of Georgia: Haloed Bust Beneath Ornament

Haloed Bust Beneath Ornament. Queen Ketevan the Martyr, who refused to abandon her faith in Persian captivity in 1624, is honoured by the Georgian Church as a saint. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. Bread baked in the round tone oven, churchkhela strung on threads and khachapuri — daily life in Georgia has its own long chronicle too.
