Inscriptions Printed in black ink on mount on recto, BC: 10. Dance accompanies many celebrations in Svanetia. It is also the reason many of the Svanish legends will survive / the loss of the old story tellers. In Mestia, Svanetia's provincial capital, a troupe of dancers / from all over the valley meets to practice their routines. / (c) 2004 Aaron Huey
