Shivini (also \u0160ivini, Siwini) is depicted as a winged sun disk \u2014 the canonical ancient Near Eastern solar iconographic symbol shared with Assyrian Shamash, Egyptian Ra/Aten, and the Hittite sun deity. His role as the sun deity who witnesses and validates oaths is consistent with the ancient Near Eastern theology of the sun as the deity of justice and cosmic order (cf. Mesopotamian Shamash as lord of justice). The triad placement of Shivini as the sun deity in third position mirrors the Hittite/Hurrian triad structure where the sun deity (Shimegi) holds the third rank after the storm deity (Teshub) and the love/war goddess (Shaushka). The name Shivini may derive from a Proto-Anatolian root for sun, consistent with the depth of the solar deity cult in Anatolian religious history from the Hittite \"Sun Goddess of Arinna\" through the Urartian period.
