The sun symbol is an ancient motif that appears in petroglyphs throughout the Southwest. The example on the top is painting on a wall at the Painted Desert Inn and as a contrast, you can see the same design in this outbuilding constructed on the Petrified Forest National Park. For years, we used this design on our business cards and letterhead as a logo in a simplified form. This particular variation is commonly associated with Hopi traditional designs and appears in jewelry and other places.
That inn is nice-looking.
