A 4-hectare necropolis is located on the left bank of the Emba River, 37 km south-west of the village of Zharkamys of the Baiganinsky district of the Aktobe region of Kazakhstan .
The name “Daumshar” is associated with the name of Daumshar, one of the leader of the Embene Kazakhs, who was buried here in 1810. [one]
The tombstones erected by folk craftsmen are rectangular monuments in plan with southern facades, with ceilings decorated in the form of a helmet-shaped dome.
