61. Muezzin. and 62. Cantaloupe. These are two pieces that compound the Camel with fourth-perimeter pieces.
The name of Muezzin was proposed by Charles Gilman for the Camel and Giraffe, as someone who is "high off the ground in lands with camels." In the real world, the Muezzin makes the call for prayer from a mosque's minaret (tower). (CFX)
The piece's design is based on a photograph of a minaret.
For the compound of Camel with Antelope, all I could come up with was the portmanteau of the two words: Cantaloupe. (I do seem to have a habit of making portmanteau names for compound pieces; see the Gerbil and Anteater.) (CNY)
I think the piece design is pretty self-explanatory.
