On a canvas seven metres wide, a great army of armoured Turkic horsemen advances towards the viewer; at the centre two leaders on a bay and a grey horse, behind them the flags of Kyrgyzstan and Turkey, and along the top the banners of historical Turkic states. An eagle at upper left, a wolf's head at upper right. The largest painting in the catalogue.
