The Tale:

We’ve created this Esquisse by emulating the decors of Church "Sioni of Bolnisi", V century. As it turns out, four-pointed, linear, or leaf resembling cross-like figures were called “stars” in the mountains. It should be noted, that these forms have symbolized minor luminaries of the skies, since they were located on the peripheral parts of the composition, in relation to the „Borjghali“, the symbol of the Sun, on the main pillar. It is theorized, that the four-pointed flower would take astral meaning and would usually be depicted on the body of the chosen animal or person.
