- Name of the exhibit: A unique historical and military relic — a fragment (piece) of the battle standard of Shaqshaq Batyr.
- Period of origin: 17th century; an original artifact.
- Material: Fabric.
- Historical significance: This artifact is a portion of the battle standard belonging to the renowned Shaqshaq Batyr (son of Amanjol), who lived in the 17th century. His name later became the *uran* (battle cry) for an entire clan. The standard was carefully preserved by his descendants—who regarded it as a sacred family heirloom and a martial talisman—including his famous grandson, Tarkhan Shaqshaq Zhanibek, who carried this relic with him on military campaigns. The fact that this fragment has survived to the present day demonstrates the continuity between generations and a profound reverence for martial duty within this lineage of *batyrs* (warriors).
- Exhibition significance: This is the oldest and most sacred exhibit in the museum’s collection. It embodies the centuries-long chronicle of the Kazakh people’s struggle for liberation, beginning with the early stages of the Kazakh-Dzungar conflict in the 17th century.
