People of Georgia

More from Tbilisi's monuments and other art, top to bottom:

St George killing the dragon, watched over by Mother Georgia and her sword/winebowl combination ("Drink this wine, dear guest, or I'll cut your throat!" goes the joke, though the sword is supposed to be for enemies...). This combination of two far-apart sculptures had to be lined up quite carefully from near Freedom Square

Chased copper icon of Jesus, from the doors of Anchiskhati Church

A huge stone woman's head with an enigmatic smile, outside another of the Old City's very many Orthodox churches

The muse of theatre, near the Philharmonia

Etim Gurgi, poet who wrote in Georgian, Azeri and Armenian

St George icon, chased silver, museum, Mestia, Svaneti, December 2000

One of the many treasures to be found in Mestia's museum, this icon is many centuries old and interesting because it's dragonless. So it could be him posing before going out to kill the monster, just in case he wouldn't return; or a victory shot afterwards.
