The Bust of Kul Tigin is an 8th-century marble bust thought to represent Kul Tigin, a Turkic general and prince. The head was probably part of a seated figure, whose torso was found in the same building at the Complex of Kul Tigin in Khöshöö-Tsaidam, Mongolia. Differently from other artifacts found at this site and the neighboring one, such as a golden diadem, the Bilge Khan Crown, this stone sculpture and a number of paintings now lost were likely the work of Tang Chinese artisans, as reported in the Book of Tang. The fact it was sculpted by a Chinese artisan could explain the origin of the sculpture's hat. It is also possible that the hat, which was also in use among Eastern Turks, was reproduced by the Chinese artist from the actual headgear of the deceased Kul Tigin. The eagle depicted

has abstract	The Bust of Kul Tigin is an 8th-century marble bust thought to represent Kul Tigin, a Turkic general and prince. The head was probably part of a seated figure, whose torso was found in the same building at the Complex of Kul Tigin in Khöshöö-Tsaidam, Mongolia. Differently from other artifacts found at this site and the neighboring one, such as a golden diadem, the Bilge Khan Crown, this stone sculpture and a number of paintings now lost were likely the work of Tang Chinese artisans, as reported in the Book of Tang. The fact it was sculpted by a Chinese artisan could explain the origin of the sculpture's hat. It is also possible that the hat, which was also in use among Eastern Turks, was reproduced by the Chinese artist from the actual headgear of the deceased Kul Tigin. The eagle depicted on the hat is similar to the Golden Crown of Bilge Khan, produced by a local artisan. The Czech archeologist who found the head, described the animal on the Bust of Kul Tigin's hat first as a heraldic eagle, later opting for a falcon, which the Turks associated with death. It could also represent the phoenix, often depicted by Eastern Turks with similarly spread wings. (en)
