The website of the Parliament of Georgia shows a series of Georgian flags from the 5th-18th centuries. There is no further comment on the historical and vexillological background of these flags. We use below the captions as they appear on that website.

Two flags are shown on the website of the Parliament 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.
