The paper addresses and analyzes historical data and images of spears and banners of the Siberian Tatar warriors, which are depicted on miniature paintings of the Siberian (Kungur) Chronicle. The paper contains a description of images of spearheads and small triangular fl ags and banners with two fl ag edges, carried in the hands or behind the backs of several Siberian Tatar dismounted and equestrian warriors. It is mentioned that Siberian Tatars were using spears with differently shaped fl ags in battles not only with the Russian Cossacks, but also between the troops of Siberian Tatar warriors, who supported different claimants to the Khanate throne. A comparative analysis of the images of fl ags and banners, which were at the disposal of Siberian Tatars and Russian Cossacks, was performed. The paper features an assumption that Siberian Tatars and Russian Cossacks could send signals to their tribesmen from a certain distance during battles using small fl ags.
