The Star of Shamash, or the Assyrian star, is a widely used symbol across ancient Mesopotamia, representing the sun god Shamash.
The Seal of Shamash is a representation of the ancient Assyrian / Mesopotamian sun god of the same name. Also described as an eight-pointed star, this solar symbol is thought to represent the solar calendar, or Sun Wheel, with the four arms associated with the solstices and equinoxes that were key calendar days.
