Shir o Khorshid, or The Lion and Sun is one of the main emblems of Iran (Persia). The motif, which illustrates ancient and modern Iranian traditions, became a popular symbol in Iran in the 12th century.
The motif has many historical meanings. First, as a scientific and secular motif, it was only an astrological and zodiacal symbol. Under the Safavid and the first Qajar kings, it became more associated with Shia Islam. During the Safavid era, the lion and sun stood for the two pillars of society, the state and the Islamic religion. It became a national emblem during the Qajar era.
It was the official emblem of Iran until the end of the Pahlavi Dynasty in 1979.
