Balbal

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:17:57

A well-preserved Turkic-era balbal (stone grave marker) is 7km west of Chinggis Khot, past the airport. The squat-figured statue, covered in blue silk hadak (ritual scarves), has a disproportionately large head with pronounced eyebrows and deep-set eyes. His long hair is curled behind his ears, an unusual feature for this type of statue.
