It was created at the time of the Central Asian Second Turkic Khaganate, and is thought to have been manufactured by a local artist.

[3] The golden crown and the belt, found at the site, are thought to have belonged to Bilge Khan.

Similarities between this diadem and the headgear of the Bust of Kul Tigin, believed to represent Bilge's brother, have also been noted.

The complex, located about 400 km from Ulaanbaatar, stands between Orkhon River and Khosho Tsaydam Lake.

The inside and outside were decorated with pictures, with balbabs (550 in total) inscribed with Bilge Khan's seals to the walls, and there was a pipe system extending to the waterway to the east.

There were statues of Bilge Khan and his families in the barq, while an altar stood on the west side.

[5][4] The Golden Crown of Bilge Khan has similarities with the Bust of Kul Tigin found at the neighbouting site (1 km to the north).

The early Turks, whose Second Turkic Khaganate stretched from Eastern to Central Asia, were noted for their ability in metallurgy.

The crown and many other objects from the complex, including the Silver Deer, are now on display at the National Museum of Mongolia.
