To the left of the upper blue stripe are a white crescent moon and five white five-pointed stars. The color blue symbolizes water and spring. The yellow color indicates that most of Karakalpakstan consists of deserts. The color green is a sign of renewal of nature, spirituality, trust, and the sun. The crescent is a sacred symbol for Muslims and represents Islam. Five stars are symbols of life and trust in the five most ancient cities of Karakalpakstan.
