Chronicle of Georgia: Robed Figure with Draped Cloth

Robed Figure with Draped Cloth. Tsereteli’s style is unmistakable: elongated figures, heavy robes and faces that look straight at the visitor, as if from an ancient icon. A close-up 360° view of the bronze reliefs, taken high on a pillar at golden hour. Above Mtskheta the 6th-century Jvari Monastery marks the place where Saint Nino’s cross is said to have stood — a masterpiece copied across the Caucasus.
