(Displays a Mayan or Indian with a shot gun in his mouth playing it like a flute, with a pyramid in the background. Also what Giger wanted to do with this painting was show that in the end the man would be looking at the last thing he saw when he was born which would be the lower part of the woman, and so where he was coming from was his last view)
