Bürkütcu
Limited Edition — Altai Mountains, Mongolia. From the project ‘Salvation’.
Bürkütcu refers to the nomadic eagle hunters of Central Asia, primarily from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, who raise and train golden eagles to hunt the wolves and foxes that prey on their livestock.
The term is derived from “bürküt,” the Kazakh and Kyrgyz word for the powerful and majestic golden eagle, considered a sacred symbol of freedom and shamanic wisdom in Turkic mythology.
The highly intimate bond between a Bürkütcu and their bird spirit is a lifelong commitment. The art is a deeply respected, often hereditary profession that is passed down through generations.
