Depicts the Striding Lion relief, seen on the Ishtar Gate, dividing dates in Western and in Arabic years both in Arabic numerals.

This Striding Lion is a representation of the ancient Mesopotamian goddess, Ishtar. Crafted as a wall relief, it is composed of polychrome glazed, fired bricks. Originating from Babylon, Iraq, it can be traced back to the era of King Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BCE) of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. A significant collection of such figures can be found along the Processional Way leading to the Ishtar Gate, which stands as a prominent exhibit in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.

The Ishtar Gate was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon (in the area of present-day Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq). It was constructed circa 575 BCE by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city. It was part of a grand walled processional way leading into the city.

German archaeologist Robert Koldewey led the excavation of the site from 1904 to 1914. After the end of the First World War in 1918, the smaller frontal gate was reconstructed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. Other panels from the facade of the gate are located in many other museums around the world, including various European countries and the United States.
