I see it as the front half of a black rat, seen from above, facing our left (toward the keyhole region), and further toward 4 o'clock (you can tell we've had kids visiting) the silhouetted beaky face of the bad guy from Minions.

Thanks MnT I do agree, definitely a rat and Minion man in there. Not something I would have ever seen of my own accord

Thanks Mike, got a FWHM of 2.1 before deconvolution (evil word!) but at 1.5"/pixel it is not that difficult
