Qvarqvare I Jaqeli (Georgian: ყვარყვარე I ჯაყელი) (1298 – 1361) was a Georgian prince (mtavari) and ruler of Samtskhe during 1334-1361.[1]
His father was Atabeg Sargis II Jaqeli, the son of Beka I Jaqeli. In 1334, after his father's death, Qvarqvare became George V The Brilliant's vassal and was appointed as Atabeg of Samtskhe by the King of Georgia.
The Jaqelis were vassals of the Ilkhanate, paid regular tributes and participated in their campaigns.[2] Qvarqvare appears in a painting of the House of Jaqeli during the period which shows them wearing the caftan with tiraz bands on the sleeves inscribed with Kufic letters.[3] Their caftan is decorated with the cloud collars made of pearl embroidery, a design of Mongol Ilkhanate origin.[4] This is also the costume worn at the time by the courtiers at the Mongol court in Tabriz.[5]
