Depicted the Lion of Babylon above a stone slab dividing dates in Western and in Arabic years both in Arabic numerals.

Lion of Babylon is a stone sculpture, over 2600 years old, that was found in the ancient city of Babylon. Its discovery was first documented in 1817 by Claudius Rich, although it may have been seen as early as 1790 by Joseph de Beauchamp.

The statue may have been commissioned by the Chaldean Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II (605–562 BC), but most experts now believe it is of Hittite origin, made during a Hittite occupation of the city.

The statue is made out of black basalt; it depicts a Mesopotamian lion standing above a lying human. The statue is two meters in length and the platform upon which it stands is one meter high. The lion weighs about 7000 kg. The statue's height is 1 meter.
