| Use | Ethnic flag |
|---|---|
| Adopted | 1980 |
| Design | Winged sun on red background |
| Designed by | Bahro Suryoyo [Aramean Light] |
The Aramean flag, or Syriac-Aramean flag, is the ethnic flag designated for the Arameans, adopted in 1980 by the Aramean journal Bahro Suryoyo (Aramean light) of the Syriac federation in Sweden (Swedish: Syrianska Riksförbundet).[1] Intended to represent their nation and homeland as well as the Aramean diaspora,[2] the flag was design based on the Winged Sun symbol, replacing the sun by a torch symbolising the Holy Spirit in Christianity.
The design is specifically based on a relief depicting Gilgamesh between two bull-men supporting a winged sun disk, excavated by the French semitologist André Dupont-Sommer (1900-1983) at Tell Halaf in the former Aramean city-state of Bit Bahiani, today located in the Al Hasakah governorate of northeastern Syria.[3] The red background was chosen to represent the blood that was spilled in the Aramean genocide. The yellow represents hope.[4] It is intended to represent "the Aramean (Syriac) nation in the Aramean homeland and in the Aramean diaspora".[5]
