First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva visited the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi on April 6.
Modern.az reports that the Georgian National Museum exhibits artifacts from various periods of the country's history.
The museum's “Stone Age in Georgia” exhibition presents the most important archaeological heritage discovered in the country. To date, over 500 Stone Age monuments have been registered in Georgia. Findings discovered in Dmanisi (Kvemo Kartli region) hold a special place in the exhibition. Here, human remains and labor tools dating back approximately 1.8 million years are displayed. Meanwhile, the “Archaeological Treasure” exhibition showcases rare jewelry discovered in Georgia, dating from the 3rd millennium BC to the 4th century AD.
After familiarizing herself with the exhibitions, on behalf of First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva, a collection titled “A New Look at Cultural Heritage,” consisting of five rare carpets produced by “Azerkhalcha,” was presented to the Georgian National Museum. The collection presents a modern interpretation of ancient carpet patterns. The collection includes “Nakhchivan,” a synthesis of classical elements, particularly “Khatai” and “Chelebi” motifs in a modern composition; “Achma-Yumma,” reinterpreted with the rich ornaments of the Karabakh carpet school; “Karabakh,” reminiscent of cosmic harmony with rhythmic and repetitive elements; the “Bandi-Rumi” composition and “Ovchuluq” (Hunting), a modern expression of Eastern art traditions; and “Pazyryk” carpets, a modern interpretation of the world's oldest pile carpet with a 2500-year history.
The museum's leadership expressed gratitude to First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva for the gifts.
