Symbols of Tuva
Over the years (in one case, over the
millennia!) a few symbols have come to be associated with Tuva. Here are our links
to items such as flags, coats of arms, and so on.
Flags of Tuva
A retrospective of Tuvan flags used this century, with images.
Current flag of
Tuva
Today's flag, designed by Oyun-ool Sat.
The
coiled panther
The original is bronze, from the eighth century BC, and is 25 centimetres in diameter.
The early nomads fashioned this breast ornament to adorn a horse's harness and is
one of the earliest known works of Scythian art. This image is a poor one-colour
representation of the original, which is under lock and key in a Kyzyl museum.
Coat of
Arms
The current coat of arms of the Republic of Tuva strongly resembles images used earlier in
the 20th century.
Cool
crest
Here's a nifty crest created for Friends of Tuva.
