The Nogai Qobyz, Echoing the Voice of History, Is Now Part of the Saraishyq Museum Collection!

As part of the “Gift to the Museum” campaign at the Saraishyq State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve, the museum collection has been enriched with another valuable artifact.

Qobyz performer, Candidate of Arts, and laureate of national and international competitions Aqnar Tattibaikyzy Sharipbayeva donated a Nogai qobyz to the museum-reserve.

The Nogai qobyz is one of the ancient musical instruments that embodies the shared spiritual heritage of the Turkic peoples and has been preserved through the centuries. This unique artifact is of particular significance in presenting the rich cultural legacy of Saraishyq, closely connected with the history of the Golden Horde, the Nogai Horde, and the Kazakh Khanate.

This valuable donation not only enriches the museum collection but also provides an opportunity to introduce visitors to the traditional musical art and historical and cultural heritage of the Kazakh people.
