still life.25x18 cm

There are a lot of allegories in this still life. The landscapes in it are the symbol of my country. the angel behind the landscapes is the archangel Gabriel, which announced the world the annunciation. He watches the landscapes as the sign of God bless. Lit frankincense is the symbol of prayer of Georgian people, which is written on the parchment. The sphere in the hands of Gabriel means that Georgia is the virgin Mary country and this prayer is the hope of Georgian people for the better future. As for grape, silver jewelry and ornamented clothes on the still life they are the usual elements of Georgian traditions.
