Giant head Sculptures in Sno

Sno is a small village of around 150 people. It’s located on the way from Tiblisi to Kazbegi. We feel like we were in Easter island when we stop by this village. The sculptures are the work of one man, Merab Piranishvili.There are now half a dozen stone heads in the collection, each depicting a different figure from Georgian history or the arts. Each face is carved from a single granite or quartz block, all a slightly different shade and texture. The stone is sourced locally and perfectly harmonises with the landscape. Some of the faces mirror the rust-and-amber tints of the nearby travertine mineral springs, others are steely grey with veins of pearl and obsidian.#awesomepic #georgia #sculptures #couplestrip
