Chronicle of Georgia: Scroll Emerging from the Pillar

Scroll Emerging from the Pillar. Ilia Chavchavadze, the 19th-century writer later canonised as a saint, gave the nation its watchwords: “Fatherland, Language, Faith”. A relief of books, scrolls and the people who wrote them, seen up close on a pillar. The Chronicle of Georgia is the work of sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, who began the memorial in 1985 as a history of the nation cast in bronze and stone.
