She symbolizes the Georgian national character: In her left hand she holds a bowl of wine to greet those who come as friends, and in her right hand is a sword for those who come as enemies. In 1966 Elguja Amashukeli was awarded the Shota Rustaveli State Prize for this sculpture. He called the statue "Capital", and it commonly became known as "Mother of Kartli".
