The Spirit Banner or the sulde was made by tying strands of hair from the best stallions and fixing them to the shaft of a spear. It proclaimed the warrior's identity and his role of perpetual guardian. Totalitarian politics of the 20th century eventually killed these warrior monks and their spirit banners.
