Animal, unidentifiable

Animal, unidentifiable

 

Description: 

Use this stylistic element when there is a decorative element that represents part of an animal, for instance a head, but when there is not enough of the body to determine the specific type of animal. This designation can also be used for stylized animals, when the type of animal cannot be determined.
