I always thought it was the top of an orc's head.

in times when newmud, which later was named "illarion", was just a great idea in the heads of some people (mainly alatar). to visualize his idea(s) he needed someone to create sample graphics; it was ghorkan (who is, besides, a professional on this area, in contrary to galdriel and me) who made some of them and who was somehow the first graphical artist of illarion. however, he had a lot of work to do (doing profesional graphics for games which his company works on) and so there wasn't much of him except for a walking character, a house and some ground tiles. the icon is simply the head of the walking character (which was designed as player character but it was never used...).
