Borjgali

The Bordschghala or Bordschghali (Georgian ბორჯღალა, ბორჯღალი ) is an old Georgian symbol of the Sun with seven wings. She is often depicted in a circle, symbolizing the universe.

It also symbolizes eternal life and movement and is related to the Mesopotamian symbols of eternity and the sun.

The Bordschghala is now used on official documents of Georgia, identity cards, passports, and coins. Since 1994 she has been the logo of the airline Georgian Airways. Because the symbol is internationally legally protected, it is also used by a German manufacturer of Sulguni cheese on the label.
