  2. To me it looks a lot like camazotz the Mayan bat God with the sun or a head in his mouth.that would explain the man running.the bats head is that of the bears head in the other pictures you noticed.its also a cardinal head eagle flying illusion.the eagle's head is the bats head and cardinal heads beak
