Popular works by artist Eraly Ospanuly reflecting the everyday philosophy of our people were used to create the panel. Kobyz is one of the most revered musical instruments by Kazakhs. An ancient legend about the triumph of life over death is associated with it. It tells that a sage named Korkyt ata, not finding salvation from death on earth, created a musical instrument and played the first melody on it, which, passing from person to person, from generation to generation, was able to acquire immortality. "A real Kazakh is not a Kazakh but a dombra," says a folk proverb. According to legend, a wise man at the hour of death managed to turn his valuable knowledge into a beautiful melody effused into a dombra. People fearing to lose such wealth bound the instrument’s fret with cords and pulled the two strings. Since then, every song played on the dombra carries a bit of the elder’s wisdom. The instrument Zhetigen has a poetic legend of its origin. She tells about a father who lost 7 sons in the war. In their honor, he created Zhetygen. Zhetygen has a magical voice, for which the girls fell in love with him. The melody played on it is very gentle and sincere.
