The lotus flower played a prominent role in the version of the creation story that originated in Heliopolis. Before the universe came into being, there was an infinite ocean of inert water which constituted the primeval being named Nun. Out of Nun emerged a lotus flower, together with a single mound of dry land. The lotus blossoms opened, and out stepped the self-created sun god, Atum, as a child. You can find this red lotus rising out of the single spot of green earth out of the water on the back of the guitar design.  Behind the Lotus is the rising and/or setting sun, the symbol of the sun god himself, and of Heliopolis.
