Curly-Tailed Animal Pendant from Panama, c.350-450 CE: this gold pendant depicts an animal with stubby feet, a rounded head, and a long, thick tail curled up over its back

This design is often referred to as the "curly-tailed animal," and other pendants of the same style have been found in Panama, Colombia, and Costa Rica.

As this publication explains:

Among the intriguing and much-favored Panamanian cast pendants is the curly- tailed animal, a form that is found in both Colombia and lower Central America. Believed to date to as early as the second century A.D., when gold working was introduced into Panama from Colombia, the Panamanian versions are said to belong to the "Initial" style. The curly- tailed animals, so called for the impressively large tails that extend up over their backs, vary considerably in detail and have been identified as everything from dogs to ducks, but the tail, at least, is thought to be simian in derivation. It is clearly the significant element of the composition, and, when the pendant was worn, the tail would have been the most visible part of the ornament.

Produced for centuries in lower Central America, the "curly tails" were rendered in both gold and semiprecious stone; they were one of the few ancient images to be made in both materials.

This page also expands on the blended characteristics that define the "curly-tailed animal" style:

Artists in the lands that are now part of the modern nations of Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica created pendants and figures of a hybrid creature known to scholars as the curly-tailed animal.

The diversity of zoological attributes present on this and similar pendants precludes a definitive identification of any specific animal, but the capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinis), coatimundi (Nasua narica), or even domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) may have provided inspiration.

I wonder how would Cam and Jade + Chris react to Chris getting knocked out by MC (like besides cooking they also do boxing as a hobby)

breaking their jaw and making Chris loose some teeth.

Cam : Definitely this.

Jade : On the one side Jade is shocked, but on the other. She's pleased that what's happened has stirred MC in such a way. In her eyes this is making MC look bad. She thinks of it as something in her favor of course. Then pretends to be such a caring girlfriend and try to help Chris up. (then scuttles off when she notices a hint of blood.) Chris :

You know they'll play this off as MC still caring, because the line between love and hate is a bit thin. Granted Chris will cry (also a bit turned on.) they don't even notice Jade at that moment.

You're not wrong. I think I"m going to blame the weather for making me forget aobut them. They're such a hot summer morning drink I didn't even consider. But regardless, I'm in!

Mimosas are honestly the superior daytime drink in my opinion.

G1 design for Hisui-Racer! Instead of her limbs being perpetually dethatched here, they can just separate and come off and the parts where they come off are magnetic and sometimes work like jets so they fly. The other female autobots found her in the middle of nowhere wrangling wild bears she befriended and lived in a cavern with and fished with
