Typically, antique Caucasian Eagle Kazaks rugs have multiple repeats of the motifs, but those with only a single eagle motif and two roof motifs on the ends are a special class known as “Sunburst” rugs. The design is sometimes referred to as the “chelaberd” design. The designs on the ends are sometimes referred to as the “crab” garlands but were more likely a representation of the sun in the Zoroastrian religion. Many believe that the cross in the center of the design is a representation of St. Joseph’s Cross. The eagle is an important bird in Kazak culture. Many of the different Kazak tribes have had an eagle on their flag for many centuries. The modern flag has a representation of the sunburst and a golden steppe eagle. The eagle is a symbol of the power of the state and its sovereignty. For the tribes of the steppe, the eagle stands for independence, freedom, and aspiration.
