Topic: Tamgha


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  ONSNUMIS.ORG - THE RARE TARTAR-GENOESE COPPER COIN
The tamgha of that sort appears on the coins of the Tatars from around 1270AD and they exist in different varieties until 1325AD, after which date they disappear from the coins.
The closest version of the tamgha corresponding to that on the above coins is found on the dirhams of 707AH (1307 AD), copper falus after 706 AH, minted at Qrim by Toqtu Khan (1291-1312 AD) and on copper falus of Ozbeg Khan also minted at Qrim with dates before 725 AH (1325 AD).
Obverse: in the center - the tamgha of the Batu family; to the left and right, fragments of a Latin legend of 4-6 letters.

 ALMATY — TOWN AND MINT DATING BACK TO THE 13th CENTURY
Since the coin inscriptions were no longer legible because of their low minting quality and fair condition, I could provide nothing but general conclusions about the approximate time and dynastic affiliation of the emission, as well as its definite relation to local monetary circulation.
According to his words, at least three coins of that hoard ought to be kindred to my specimen, for they bore the same trident-like tamgha together with the first common sign, also placed either on one side or separately.
In the field: tamgha [1] with six «pearls» around the central dash and two symmetrical knotted vignettes on both sides.

  Structural Characteristics of Turkmen Tribal Weavings
The tamghas were simple motifs, that of Salor Khian, founder of the Salor tribe, being a hook-like form ;for Mahmud Kashgari in the 11th century, this same tamgha had become a slightly more complex arrow-head form with an extra extension.
It is interesting that the reciprocated hook forms in the four corners of this motif have been interpreted as residual representations of birds and the motif within the Chodor ertman gul certainly seems to have an avian on gin.
However, firm evidence for the development of the gul from the tamgha does not exist because such apparently simple motifs as the latter have become lost in the complexity of the modern gul.

  Tamgha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tamgha, or tamga (Modern Turkish: damga) is an abstract seal or device used by Eurasian nomadic peoples and by cultures influenced by them.
Only the Ottoman ghazi state (later to become the Ottoman Empire) kept their Tamgha, and this was highly stylized, so much so that the bow was stylized down eventually to a crescent moon.
Ironically the conquest of the Ak Koyunlu by the Ottoman Empire was a sort of Manzikert II, as the Ottomans had thrown away virtually all of their traditions and had become thouroughly Byzantine in their institutions.

This coin depicts the god Vajrapani, Buddha's protector, as Herakles, assimilated through Gandharan art via the Parthian representation of Verethragna as Herakles (see Errington and Cribbs, eds., The Crossroads of Asia: Transformation in Image and Symbol in the Art of Ancient Afghanistan and Pakistan, pg.
Unlike other issues depicting Vajrapani as Herakles, on this coin the deity wears the lion's skin rather than holds it.
Also, the tamgha on this piece is that of Kanishka, thus suggesting an early issue of Huvishka."

 The State Seal of the Republic of Uzbekistan
A little information about the history of the word "gerb" (seal): the word "gerb" comes from the German word "erbo," meaning a sign for kings and rulers of the inheritance of a state, empire, realm, etc.
As recorded inthe testimony of the famous twelfth century historian Rashididdin Hamadoni's book "Chosen Histories," Oghuz Khan divided up his realm into small states and gave them to his sons as kingdoms.
The rulers of these states also had their own "tamgha" (seals).
