The AkYazi Stone Figures

　　   Situated at the AkYazi Pass in Zhaosu County, these are burial remnants of the Turkic nomadic people from the 7th and 8th centuries. There are two stone figures, about 700 meters apart from north to south. The northern one is a full-body relief carved on a rectangular stone, standing 1.4 meters tall and 47 centimeters wide, with clearly defined eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Its left hand rests on a sword, while the right hand is bent across the chest, holding an object that appears to be a bowl or cup—carved with fine detail. The southern figure is 1.1 meters tall, 28 centimeters wide, and 26 centimeters thick, with only the head outlined by lines, showing a faint facial structure, while the body has been eroded and is no longer clear.
