Made me wonder the other day... I've never quite understood what this picture is portraying. Looks rather like a compiler, except

a) It seems to have a face

b) It appears to be outfitted in the fashion of an enslaved Sph't, which doesn't make sense as no more works would have been created on Lh'owon after the Pfhor came. I know this can probably be attributed as an oversight in art direction on bungies behalf, but is interesting nonetheless.

Another thought that occured to me is that it can also be interpreted as wearing a crown - Are we looking at a mural of yrro/pthia?

What impressions do you guys get from this image? I've always found it fascinating in it's ambiguity.
