The emblem features traditional Seljuk elements: a double-headed eagle,
a tree of life and two dragons.
The eagle was considered as a sacred symbol by ancient Turks. Shamans
believed that the double-headed eagle was the offspring of an eagle and
a woman. In central Asia, the eagle was a symbol of protection,
fertility, power and nobility.
The tree of life is commonly used as a decorative element in Seljuk
architecture. Ancient Turks considered it as the center of the world and
a staircase to the sky.
The Seljuk dragons have a long body and nodes made of astronomical
signs. They also symbolize evil and underground hell.
