The creature combines the attributes of different species (bat, bird, human). Its head clearly indicates a bat-like shape. The shape of the arms and legs seems to indicate anthropomorphic characteristics. The wings and tail feathers, on the other hand, suggest avimorphic characteristics. The flying figure appears to be wearing a cord that flows smoothly into the penis. 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)
