The 10th International Avenue mural is dedicated to the Greater Forest Lawn community.
The symbolism in this piece pokes fun at these labels and asks the viewer how they are reading the maid and the tiger in the picture.

Featured is the Babylonian Ishtar Gate, one of the seven wonders of the world, constructed in 546 BCE.
This piece celebrates the hope for peace among all nations, races and religions. Symbols of peace from various cultures are featured, including: doves, flowers, an olive branch, pomegranates, and hummingbirds.
