My second entry with frogspawn... have you ever thought that it looked rather eyelike? Made me think of Argus Panoptes...Hera's many-eyed guardian...who kept an eye on a very important cow (Io...a woman whom Zeus fancied...and so had been turned into a cow...don't ask) before being dispatched by Hermes. Once he'd been killed, Hera took his eyes and put them on the peacock's tail. I've always adored that myth. For any interested, the attached link shows a red-figure vase depiciting, from the left, Hermes, Argus and Io the Cow.
