The objective of our research work is to illustrate those samples of the wall painting (frescoes) of Georgian Christian Churches of the XVI-XVII centuries of Georgia, where the clothing of depicted church donators, Kings, nobles and their families demonstrate Iranian influence. The work will also discuss the historical environment that enhanced similar tendencies in clothing. Emphasis will be made on separate details of clothing and their symbolic meaning. Our objective is to introduce visual photo materials of this dressing. We believe that it is very important to demonstrate the current condition of these frescoes in the contemporary world.
