Two flags are shown on the website of theParliament of Georgia as the "flag of Georgian State (12th-15th centuries)". The first flag is white, divided by a red cross and with four smaller red crosses in each quarter, therefore very similar to the national flag of Georgia adopted in 2004. The second flag is white with a red cross.
