Summary

Description
English: This tamgha belongs to the Turkish Oghuz clan called after Bayandur, one of the four sons of Kök-khan (himself one of the six sons of the legendary Oghuz-khan). In Rashid al-din's enumeration of tamghas, onghons (totems), and parts of meat allotted to each of the Oghuz clans, the tamgha of Bayandur looks like the part of the Arabic letter ص above the line (i.e. without its tail). This tamgha figures also on Aq-qoyunlu coins where it has a more stylized form.
