The National Emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an image of shanyrak (Kazakh: Шаңырақ, shangyraq; 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. The circle shape of the Emblem is a symbol of a life and eternity. The shanyrak symbolizes well-being of family, peace and calmness.
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 a light, clear future of Kazakhstani people, and the blue sky colour is a symbol of aspiration to the peace, consent, friendship and unity with all people. [2]
The name of the country in Kazakh, ҚA3AҚCTAH, is in the lower part of the coat of arms.
