Iran Lion & Sun Flag
3' x 5' Iranian Pre-Islamic Revolution Lion & Sun Resistance Flag. Complete with grommets and double-stitched edges to reduce fraying.
The Lion and Sun, or Shir-o-Khorshid, is one of the most powerful and enduring symbols in Iranian history. While the modern flag of Iran has changed, this pre-islamic revolution banner remains a deeply cherished emblem of ancient Persian heritage and national identity for those who oppose the current theocratic regime and the Iranian diaspora.
The Lion represents strength, courage, and sovereignty, a symbol that has been linked to Iranian royalty and leadership for millennia. The Sun rising behind it symbolizes the light of the world, purity, and the ancient connection to Mithraism and the radiance of the divine. Together, they represent the harmony between the state and the spiritual world.
The lion often carries a curved sword (the shamshir), a later addition representing justice and the defense of the nation. Set against the classic green, white, and red stripes, this flag is a tribute to a rich, 2,500-year history.
