Chronicle of Georgia: Rising Figure in a Tall Panel

Rising Figure in a Tall Panel. The apostles and evangelists appear among the sacred figures — the bearers of the message that reached Georgia in its earliest Christian centuries. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. King Vakhtang Gorgasali, the warrior king of the 5th century, is remembered as the founder of Tbilisi — legend says his falcon fell into a hot spring where the city now stands.
