Tamar the Great sits majestically atop a horse, her arms stretched wide as she guides it with confident hands. As the reigning Queen of Georgia from 1184 until her death in 1213, she presided over a period of unparalleled prosperity known as the Georgian Golden Age. A member of the powerful Bagrationi dynasty, Tamar's remarkable achievement as the first woman to rule Georgia independently is underscored by the title "mepe" or "king," bestowed upon her in medieval Georgian texts.
