Draft:Banners and Emblems of the Mongol Empire

  • Comment: Sources are mostly about the Mongol Empire and not its banners and emblems. Thus, notability is not proven in this draft. Lightoil (talk) 18:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: This feels a bit like a non-article right now. I think if sources focusing specifically on Mongol banners and emblems could be found it would go a long way towards building this out. BuySomeApples (talk) 02:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


The Mongol Empire and Yuan Dynasty lacked a designated national flag, as the notion of a "national flag" had not been conceived at that historical timeframe. Nevertheless, several symbols were emblematic of the Mongol Empire and its leaders, including the Tamgas of Genghis Khan and his forebears.[1], the Imperial seal of the Mongols[2], and notably, the Mongol War Tug[3][4][5][6]

The Mongol Empire did not possess a singular heraldic symbol, as the conceptualization of heraldic symbols representing entire nations had not yet emerged during that historical timeframe.
