Iran: The Faravahar symbol used in Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia as well as parts of Iraq, India and Central Asia.

The Faravahar is one of the best-known symbols of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of ancient Iran. This religious-cultural symbol was adapted by the Pahlavi dynasty to represent the Iranian nation. The winged disc has a long history in the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle East. Historically, the symbol is influenced by the 'winged sun' hieroglyph appearing on Bronze Age royal seals. In Neo-Assyrian times, a human bust is added to the disk, the 'feather-robed archer' interpreted as symbolizing Ashur. The symbol is currently thought to represent a Fravashi (a guardian angel). Because the symbol first appears on royal inscriptions, it is also thought to represent the 'Divine Royal Glory' and the divine mandate that was the foundation of a king's authority.

Iran: The Faravahar symbol used in Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia as well as parts of Iraq, India and Central Asia.
Descripción:
Traducción automática: El Faravahar es uno de los símbolos más conocidos del zoroastrismo, la religión estatal del antiguo Irán. Este símbolo religioso-cultural fue adaptado por la dinastía Pahlavi para representar a la nación iraní. El disco alado tiene una larga historia en el arte y la cultura del antiguo Cercano y Medio Oriente. Históricamente, el símbolo está influenciado por el jeroglífico del "sol alado" que aparece en los sellos reales de la Edad de Bronce. En la época neoasiria, se añade un busto humano al disco, el "arquero con túnica de plumas" interpretado como el símbolo de Ashur. Actualmente se cree que el símbolo representa a un Fravashi (un ángel guardián). Debido a que el símbolo aparece por primera vez en inscripciones reales, también se cree que representa la "Gloria Real Divina" y el mandato divino que era la base de la autoridad de un rey.
