Gender Equality Equality in Colchic Bronze Technology Okromravali (Rich in Gold) – the collection includes precious items created with refined technology and proves that the main treasure of Colchis civilization was its progressiveness.

Nowadays, gender equality is one of the main metrics of the country’s development.

We identified several fascinating facts while studying treasures of Vani.

One of the richest burials belonged to the woman.


In addition, one of the excavated pieces - the bronze lamp has figures of two women and a man – all three hold the lamp and are functionally equal to each other.

Folklore dance “Samaia” is performed by three people, both female and male, dated back to times of Colchis.

This dance was part of the festive ritual in celebration of the newly born child (regardless of the gender).

These facts prove that women had a significant role in society back then.
Therefore, we suggest demonstrating equality as the symbol of this culture's abundance.

Gender inequality and violence against women are challenges for modern Georgia.

Therefore, we believe that elements of gender equality that are observed in Colchic culture have to be highlighted.

We suggest to convey message of equality, as a symbol of intangible cultural heritage of Colchic people.
Inspired by the distinct artisan technology expressed in micro dots the symbol of the collection will invite visitors to experience sophisticated, powerful and diverse ancient culture.
