Simurgh (English spelling)
A legendary monster bird that appears in Iranian mythology. In ancient Persian it was called Saena-murgo, and in medieval Persian it was called Sen-muru. It is a composite of a dog's head, a lion's legs, an eagle's wings and body, and a peacock's tail. It is said to live in the Saena tree in Lake Walkasha, bring the seeds of all plants to the earth, and protect children and heroes. In art after the Sassanid dynasty, it was used as a symbol of good fortune to decorate the clothing of royalty and nobility, the crowns of queens, and so on. [Tanabe Katsumi]
