Bronze Toastmaster: "May everyone be well!"

During archaeological excavations in the West of Georgia an amulet from the 7th century was found - a figure of a seated man with a horn in his hand.

The 2-3 cm bronze figurine did not interest scientists, but appealed to marketers, who decided that it was none other than a toastmaster, captured at the moment of making a toast.

The theme was liked, and by analogy with the found amulet a statue in human height was cast to the delight of tourists.

A bronze Toastmaster sits in the center of the old city in Tbilisi on Sioni Street. Tourists enjoy hugging him, sitting on his lap, talking to the monument, interrupting a long toast.

The fact that in ancient Georgia there was no tradition of depicting domestic scenes, and tamadism as a folk art emerged later, that the toastmaster performs standing up and most likely it is not a toastmaster at all - no one is interested.
