Chronicle of Georgia: Inscribed Pillar with a Winged Figure

Inscribed Pillar with a Winged Figure. Georgian belongs to the Kartvelian family, unrelated to any of its neighbours — another reason the nation guards its written story so closely. Lines of carved text cover this part of the pillar, like a page from a book in stone. At the Battle of Didgori in 1121, David the Builder’s army won against a far larger force — a day Georgians still celebrate as the “Miraculous Victory”.
