Double Head Eagle Stupa

Along the main street of Sirkap, the ancient city sits the Double-Headed Eagle Shrine. Its original name is lost but is now referred to as the Double-Headed Eagle Shrine because of the bird bas-relief that adorns the arch (images two and three). Of Scythian origin, the double-headed bird motif is common in Eurasia, appearing in Byzantine and European armor crests as well.
