Ear picks. Gostibe burial ground. Kingdom of Kartli - Iberia (as it is referred to in Greco-Roman written sources), formed in the 3rd century B.C., attained especial political and economic might in the 1st-3rd centuries A.D. The specimens of goldsmithery, discovered in the burials of the royal family of this period, reflect the advance of the Kingdom of Kartli. The close cultural contacts of Iberia with the outer world found reflection in the development of goldsmithery as well. The local masters adopted the novelties of the period, transformed them in a peculiar way and created their own school of goldsmithery on the basis of rich traditions.
The gold ornaments, silverware and glyptic items found throughout the territory of Georgia, point to the unity and integrity of the artistic culture of Georgia. The goldsmithery of this period arose on the traditions of the artisanship of the preceding periods, for its part paving the way for the further development of jeweller's art.
