The graphic work "Tomiris" depicts a female warrior named Tomiris. She was a cult figure in the history of the Turks, the ancestors of the Kazakhs. She lived in the 6th century BC and was a strong personality, a commander who was able to rule the Turkic people in her younger years. The painting depicts her riding a camel, which also demonstrates her greatness. Her figure is depicted against the background of the sun, in which there are scenes of war and battle. Four scenes from the life of nomadic Turks are depicted in the center of the circle. These are: migrations, the work of blacksmiths, pastures with sheep and the dwelling of nomads – a yurt. Tomiris is depicted in traditional clothes with richly ornamented embroidery. The same embroidered ornamental motifs are depicted on the camel's cape.
