Qajar Dynasty Lion and Sun Emblem - Historical Iranian Royal Symbol #3388868 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem represents the official coat of arms of Iran during the Qajar dynasty (1789-1925), combining ancient Persian motifs with Islamic and royal symbolism. A black lion with white wings, wearing a Qajar-style crown and holding a scimitar, stands atop golden dunes beneath a rising sun, all enclosed in ornate circular borders and surmounted by the Pahlavi crown (added later in some versions). The Arabic inscription at the base reads “الله اکبر” (Allahu Akbar), reflecting the state’s Islamic identity.

Used historically on official documents, coins, flags, and government buildings during the Qajar era; today it appears in historical archives, museum exhibits, academic publications, and cultural heritage discussions. Matches user intent for historical research, heraldry study, or Iranian national symbolism exploration.
