A mottled lizard sits upright on a rock, with prickly pear pads, agave blades and tall cacti around it inside a round cream frame. The finder squares are hidden in the ringed cactus discs and the round stone shapes, which carry a dark cross pattern that reads like the code's anchor marks. The modules are spread through the flat terracotta, orange and plum color patches on the ground and mesa behind. Strong dark-on-light contrast in the scales and blobs keeps the pattern readable, and the long banded tail curls along the lower edge.
