Show Treasures in Wilderness Lo?t in the Caucasian wilderness in the village of Zugdidi, a palace of the former Dadiana princess, one of the oldest and wealthiest Georgian families and related to Napoleon and Alexander I, stands today practically as it stood 100 years ago in the hey-dey hey-dey of those powerful rulers. In addition addi-tion to much rich furniture of the period, some of which is said to have oeeD presented by the French emperor, there is a collection of stone and bronze arms, Greek statuettes, ancient Greek coins, a number of skulls of primitive man, and a Chinese vaiie of un'old value. The contents of the palace have been converted by Caucasian Cau-casian authorities into a museum, but owing to the inaccessibility of the mountain village few except Georgian peasantry ever visit it. |
