A signing mark older than paper.
Among the peoples of the Eurasian steppe, the tamga was the seal and signing mark: each clan carried a sign of its own, burnt into hides, chiselled into rock, minted on coins, placed under contracts. Generation after generation it meant origin, ownership and a promise kept – a signature from a time long before identity papers.
Kyrgyz still calls a signature “kol tamga” (кол тамга), the sign of the hand – and that is precisely the idea behind Tamgara: a personal mark of your own, placed under any document with one movement of your finger.
