Emblem of the SSR of Abkhazia 1928-1931 (Georgia) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the historical emblem of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Abkhazia, used from approximately 1928 to 1931. The design is a powerful visual statement, rich with symbolism reflecting the political and cultural landscape of the time.
Central Elements
At the heart of the emblem, a hammer and sickle, the iconic symbols of the proletariat and peasantry, represent the foundation of the Soviet state. Above this, a vibrant red five-pointed star further reinforces the ideals of socialism and communism.
Surrounding Imagery and Text
The central motifs are set against a backdrop of a local landscape – mountains and a body of water. This incorporation of Abkhazian geography provides a strong sense of regional identity within the broader Soviet framework. A wreath encircles the central elements, likely composed of agricultural motifs like corn, tobacco, and grapes, representing the region's agricultural output. The border is inscribed with the republic's name, “SSR Apsny,” and the motto, “Proletarians of all countries, unite!”, written in Abkhaz, Georgian, and Russian, highlighting the multilingual nature of the republic.
Historical Context
The design is a fascinating blend of Soviet iconography with regional representation, reflecting the Soviet policy of creating individual emblems for its republics while promoting unity under the communist banner. This design is a historical artifact, a tangible link to a complex and significant period in Caucasian history.
