The Lion and Sun (Shir-o-Khorshid) flag is a historic national emblem that was officially used from the 19th century until 1979. The design features a horizontal tricolour of green, white, and red. Centered on the white band is a golden lion holding a sword, positioned before a rising sun — a powerful composition symbolizing strength, sovereignty, and renewal.
The Lion and Sun motif itself traces back thousands of years, rooted in ancient mythology, astronomy, and royal symbolism of the region. The lion has long represented bravery and kingship, while the sun has symbolized divinity, life, and cosmic order. Over centuries, this celestial and regal pairing appeared in art, architecture, coins, and royal standards, evolving in style but consistently reflecting cultural continuity and historic identity.
