Mosaic "Hunting" is a rare example of Soviet monumental art that turns toward Georgian literary tradition rather than ideological imagery.
Kukuri Tsereteli is believed to have created it in 1966 — the year of Shota Rustaveli's 800th anniversary, when the imagery of The Knight in the Panther's Skin resonated deeply across Georgian cultural life. The hunting scene — a rider on a white horse, greyhounds, animals in full flight — references one of the poem's defining episodes.

Kukuri preserved the flatness and ornamental quality of medieval Georgian manuscript illumination: the rider's patterned robes, stylised trees, and fluid movement of the animals read more like an illustration from a 12th-century manuscript than a work of the 1960s.
The mosaic has survived virtually intact to this day and can be seen easily from the street — unlike most works of the period, hidden on industrial sites or no longer accessible
