Emblem of Kazakhstan

The emblem is an image of a shanyrak (, Şañyraq; more often seen in the Russian transcription, Шанырак, shanyrak), the upper dome-like portion of a yurt, against a sky blue background which irradiates (in the form of sun rays) uyks (supports) set off by wings of mythical horses, inspired by Tulpar, which represent bravery. The circle shape of the emblem is a symbol of life and eternity. The shanyrak symbolizes family well-being, peace and calmness. A design very similar to the Kazakh shanyraq is used in the flag of neighbouring Kyrgyzstan; it is known as tunduk in Kyrgyz. The colour version of the national emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan consists of two colours: gold and sky blue. The golden colour corresponds to the bright, clear future of the Kazakh people, and the blue sky colour is a symbol of aspiration for peace, consent, friendship and unity with all people. The name of the country in Kazakh, QAZAQSTAN, is in the lower part of the emblem. The name was in the Cyrillic script () before the national standard of the emblem of Kazakhstan was amended on 1 November 2018. ==Gallery==
