«Sarybaghysh» Epitaphs from the Chu Valley
Abstract
The paper deals with a little-known and virtually unexplored group of early 20th century epigraphic monuments from central Semirechye (the lower course of Chon Kemin river), belonging to the clan of Tynaï of the Sarybaghysh tribe. A detailed analysis is carried out with regard to the sepulchral inscriptions on stone tombs (stelae) dedicated to the renowned Qyrghyz (Kyrgyz) manap Shabdan son of Jantaï, his two brothers and two underage daughters, all deceased and buried between 1904 and 1912.
