Egyptian Winged Disk Coffee Mug
The winged sun is a symbol associated with divinity, royalty and power in the Ancient Near East (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Persia). The symbol has also been found in the records of ancient cultures residing in various regions of South America as well as Australia. In Ancient Egypt, the symbol is attested from the Old Kingdom (Sneferu, 26th century BC), often flanked on either side as it is here with a uraeus, the two protective cobras.
The winged sun is also symbolic of the eternal soul. When placed above the temple doors it served as a reminder to the people of their eternal nature.
