     This Mayan eccentric was flaked into the shape of a scorpion. Although there are more stylized versions, this example has a fairly natural form. It has a large curving tail, seven legs instead of eight, and two representations of claws at the front. The large curving tail and the forward directional claws in front of two rows of legs are the main features that provides the observer with an easy identification.
