It might seem that Sergo Kobuladze’s story has been fully told. The Georgian master was a polymath of near-Renaissance scope: he studied the golden ratio, illustrated the nation’s epic The Knight in the Panther’s Skin, and designed the celebrated curtain for the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre. His legacy is monumental in every sense, towering over Georgia’s cultural memory.

Yet his archive continues to reveal surprises. Behind the scale of his public works lay an intimate pursuit: miniature clay medallions, small enough to rest in the palm of a hand. These tiny items were never exhibited or sold. They were often set in rings and given as personal gifts to friends, family, and his most distinguished students.
