A Crab Fashioned From Stuffed Fabric
A couple of crabs, one large and the other small were displayed on a net. The large one had one red eye and was leaking stuffing from one of its leg joints. The display was labeled with a sign that read, "El Punche de Oro," which means, "The Golden Punch." This display used to be in the former Museum of Myths and Legends.
