Chronicle of Georgia: Saint and Winged Figure Beside Inscriptions

Saint and Winged Figure Beside Inscriptions. Winged figures and heavenly signs crown several panels, linking the earthly chronicle below with the sacred one above. A sacred scene from the memorial, with figures in long robes rendered in deep bronze relief. 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.
