The '''coat of arms of the Bagrationi dynasty''' has been used by the former [[Bagrationi dynasty|royal family]] of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] and its descendants. It is a symbol of the [[Bagrationi dynasty]], which claims the erstwhile Georgian crown.

== Description ==
In the arms of the [[House of Mukhrani|Mukhrani branch]] of the family, the shield is quartered by the cross, depicting: in the first quarter, the [[harp]] and the [[Sling (weapon)|sling]], attributes of the [[Bible|biblical]] King [[David]] from whom the dynasty [[Claim of the biblical descent of the Bagrationi dynasty|claimed their descent]]; in the second, the crossed sword and scepter crowned with the [[globus cruciger]]; in the third, [[Scales of Justice (symbol)|a pair of scales]], symbolizing King [[Solomon]]; and in the fourth, mounted [[Saint George]], patron saint of Georgia, with a lance slaying a dragon.

An escutcheon shows the [[seamless robe of Jesus]], representing the holiest relic of Georgia, said to be buried under the [[Svetitskhoveli]] Cathedral in the town of [[Mtskheta]]. The supporters are lions rampant. The shield is surmounted with the royal crown of Georgia, the so-called [[Georgian Royal Crown|Iberian crown]].
