Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the Kazakh sadaq, as a set of a hand throwing weapon, its accessories and means for wearing them. Unfortunately, until today, the Kazakh sadaq has not been the subject of a separate scientific study, which indicates the relevance of this topic. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to study the specific peculiarities of the traditional Kazakh sadaq, ethnic terminology associated with this type of military equipment, identifying its various types and ways of wearing them.
In the article artifacts, written and folklore sources, iconographic and linguistic materials served as the source base for the study. As the military equipment of Kazakh batyrs, sadaq is constantly mentioned in oral sources of the 15th-19th centuries. From the written sources of the 19th century, we find the first description of the Kazakh sadaq and its image in the work of Ch.Ch.Valikhanov, dedicated to Kazakh weapons. Earlier images of the Kazakh sadaq are presented on the Kazakh burial monuments of the 18th century. These visual materials make it possible to reconstruct different types of Kazakh sadaq. The analysis and study of iconographic materials showed that the Kazakh sadaq is the result of the further developement of the medieval nomadic bows, which lead to evolution of the various types of Kazakh sadaq, differing among themselves in different compositions of the elements of the weapon set, and hence different ways of wearing them.
