Amir Temur is portrayed not only as a statesman and military leader, but also as a national archetype embodying strength, justice, wisdom, and unity. The study analyzes the functioning of a symbolic system including epigraphs, rhetorical devices, and metaphors, which contribute to the construction of a multifaceted image of the ruler.
