FMC00.628 depicts various illustrations and symbols showing Mithras - Phanes hatching from the cosmic egg, with the symbolism of the zodiac and infinite time circle also represented as a snake eternally biting its own tail (ouroboros); or Man caught and wrapped in time and a snake.
These symbols are some 6000 years old, and originate in the ancient Persian cultural age (approx. 5700 to 3000 BC) and the teachings of Zarathustra (Zaruana Akarana), but also in the Egypto-Chaldean cultural age (approx 2300 to 750 BC, ouroboros) and the Greco-Latin cultural age (approx 750 BC to 400 AD) with the ancient Greek Orphic Mysteries (Phanes) and the Mithras cult retained into the Roman culture upto around the 5th century.
