Tengri within Ecumenism

Description

Author: Zhapak, Yersain. 1961
Defined by vibrant colors and ornamental stylization, this fantastical composition centers on an anthropomorphic figure with an open eye in place of a head, its body fragmented into pattern-filled segments. In the background, an eclectic skyline of domes, minarets, and spires crowned with crosses, crescents, and stars creates a composite image of ecumenism and interfaith harmony, directly juxtaposed with Tengri, the supreme deity of the ancient Turkic pantheon.
