Two "sculptures" from Georgia
The first I photographed last saturday at the Expo-Park of Tbilisi, it is from the time when Communism was still enthusiastic about its future, I estimate 1978. One holds an airplane, one a gearwheel, one an atomic nucleus. Man and woman hold together a wine bowl; interesting, in Georgia mostly men drink the wine ;-) I do not know the author, but will find out.
The second author is also but really unknown. It is a relief at a small church from 12/13th century above Borjomi, in the village Cagveri. It shows Holy George (Georgian: Zminda Giorgi) in a very rare figure, killing the dragon, wich is a snake. The second image of course is a much stronger one, that's why it survived 800 years or more. Maybe it is a part from a much older church ? The first sculpture at the Expo Georgia won't last that long I think, alltough I like it too.
