This pattern was most commonly used by the Kazakhs in the art of gold embroidery. In world culture the ear of corn is an indispensable attribute of images of ancient gods: in the ancient East a corn is an attribute of the god Tammuz (Dumuzi), in ancient Egypt the sun was depicted as a golden corn, etc., which in turn emphasises its sacral component.
In turn, the ear of corn in Kazakh culture symbolises well-being and prosperity, is an attribute of agricultural representation aesthetics and represents fertility, a divine gift.
