Interpretation

In the middle of the bear one can see the world famous city built in the rocks, "Petra", in the south of Jordan. Petra was founded in the 2nd century B.C. Around 30,000 people lived in Petra at the time. They lived in cave dwellings, tents and clay huts. Its prosperity stemmed from trade. The only access to the city is the two-kilometre-long gorge "Siq".

The ruins of the city were rediscovered in 1812. They have been steadily excavated since 1929. UNESCO put Petra on its Cultural World Heritage List.

The head of the bear displays a Beduin scarf, typical for the country.
