Tulpar

The origins of Tulpar are intertwined with the hunting traditions of Central Asian peoples, who used horses in conjunction with birds of prey.

Tulpar is deeply embedded in the cultural heritage of Turkic-speaking nations, including Turks, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz.

The Heavenly Horse, known as Tulpar in Turkic mythology, embodies swiftness, elegance, and deep cultural significance.

Winged horses, depicted in the art of ancient nomads, on metal jewelry of the Altai Sakas, on the famous Kargaly diadem, on the headdress of the Golden Man from the Issyk Mound, and on Scythian dishes, are now a distinctive sign of the coat of arms of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

A notable artifact, a ceremonial gilt bronze finial depicting a standing horse, exemplifies Saka culture.
