Winged Lion

The winged lion is one of the most fascinating and common themes of ancient Persian art and has appeared on various artifacts used most commonly on seals, containers, weapons, reliefs and sculptures.

Symbolic meanings of this animal include: summer, monarchy, divine power and strength, protector, controller of spirits and devils, constellation and fertility. Persian art contains different illustrations of this motif and such representation is always associated with the magical concept of this animal in protection against evil elements.

Having a piece of history is the main reason to design this necklace.
