Kaviani Flag
Kaviani’s veil in Iranian mythology goes back to Kaveh Ahangar(blacksmith) uprising against the oppression of Ajaydak (Dhahak). At that time, Kaveh lifted his leather apron on a wooden head to lift people up against Zahak to raise people around him. The palace was then crushed by the bloodthirsty ruler, and he placed Fereidun on the throne.
Fereidun, after ordering that Kaveh’s apron beads were adorned with yellow, red, and violet trims, and added to the gem, called it a royal flute, and thus a Kaviani flute. Later, every king would add a gem to it, just as you would shine in the Caverns at night. Kaviani flag was also called as Jamshid badge and the Fereydoun badge.

Flag of Iran after Tazyan (Arab invasion)
After the Arabs invasion to Iran, Iranians had no flags for up to three years except two of Iran’s national champions, Abu Musalm Khorasani and Babak Khorramdin; Abu Muslim had a black flag and Babak had a red flag. That is why fans called these two blacks and reds. Since Islamic scholars forbade imaging and painting, for many years no animal prints were depicted on the veil.
