Spiritual meaning
The sun given wings and set above a doorway — protection stretched wide over a threshold, watching over whoever passes beneath it.
Historical background
Common above temple entrances across Egypt, tied to the myth of Horus of Edfu defeating Set in the form of a winged disk before flying ahead of the king's army as a protective standard.
