Kyrgyzstan Burana balbal field

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Kyrgyzstan Burana balbal field

At the Burana Tower site is a collection of 6th- to 10th-century balbals—Turkic tombstones—gathered from throughout Kyrgyzstan. The faces seem to depict the uniqueness of the deceased. Traditionally the left hand holds a sword and the right hand holds a chalice with mare’s milk as a sign of welcome.
