Does anyone know what is on the cover of King Crimson's THRAK?

Just curious. Boring topics in the Lounge right now.

Looks like a folded sheet metal with a piece cut out at the bend.

I've thought of this too but never actually figured out what it was.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

It's quite clearly part of an old car door with the handle removed, secured to the wall of a building somewhere in Europe, i'm guessing up North.

Anyone learning physics? It looks like something to do with the chaos theory or something.

It looks like a shark skin shirt. Or maybe part of a python boot, or maybe a zoot horn snoot, or maybe the question is moot, anyway who gives a poot?

According to "In the Court of King Crimson" (the book), it's a broken piece of a computer cabinet.

Maybe Thrak  is an anagram of "HK art". Don't know what that means myself, but at least it means it's art
