winged sun

Feathered solar emblem

A winged sun is an ancient symbol depicting a solar disk with wings extending from either side, sometimes with serpents.

It appears across Egyptian, Persian, and other Near Eastern cultures as an emblem of divine power, protection, and royalty.

The image persists in modern contexts—corporate logos, esoteric traditions, and historical fiction: The winged sun carved above the temple entrance.
