Two flags are shown on the website of the Parliament of Georgia as the "flag of Georgian State (XIIth-XVth 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.
