Talk:Kartlis Deda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is not confirmed, but a person who has lived in Georgia reports that the statue is not aluminum. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi, I'm Georgian and as I know it is aluminium. Actually this is Kartlis Deda "Mark II", in mid 90's old design (if I may say so) was modified by sculptor and new statue was erected. You can see both, new and old, statues on Georgian page of the article [1] If I remember correctly, in order to maintain symbolism, old statue was dismantled only after new one was erectred and for several days there were tow statues on the mountain causing rather disturbing thoughts in people with hangover.
