Tall Figure with a Tree. The grapevine is everywhere in Georgian art — on church facades, on Saint Nino’s cross and in the reliefs — the symbol of a land of wine and faith. A close-up 360° view of the bronze reliefs under a soft cloudy sky, with Tbilisi below. Georgia is called the cradle of wine: grape seeds and clay vessels show winemaking here some 8,000 years ago, and the qvevri method is listed by UNESCO.
