The largely symmetrical object combines the attributes of different species (bat, bird, human). The heads clearly indicate a bat-like creature. The design of the limbs seems to indicate anthropomorphic characteristics. The wings and tail feathers, on the other hand, suggest avimorphic characteristics of the twin creature. Its broad mouth corresponds to the zoomorphic stone sculptures of the Palmar group (1550-1000d.C.). Despite their size, the trapezoidal tail feathers have no applied decorations. (Künne 2005)
