Chronicle of Georgia: Haloed Figures and an Angel on the Rocks

Haloed Figures and an Angel on the Rocks. In the 4th century Saint Nino brought Christianity to Kartli, carrying a cross of grapevine bound with her own hair — still the symbol of Georgian faith. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. After the Mongol invasions, King Giorgi V, called the Brilliant, restored the unity of the kingdom in the 14th century.
