Flag
Description
a gold sun with 32 rays above a soaring golden steppe eagle,
both centered on a sky blue background; the hoist side displays
a national ornamental pattern "koshkar-muiz" (the
horns of the ram) in gold; the blue color is of religious
significance to the Turkic peoples of the country, and so
symbolizes cultural and ethnic unity; it also represents the
endless sky as well as water; the sun, a source of life and
energy, exemplifies wealth and plenitude; the sun's rays are
shaped like grain, which is the basis of abundance and prosperity;
the eagle has appeared on the flags of Kazakh tribes for centuries
and represents freedom, power, and the flight to the future |
