Those knowledgeable about Earth's viking history will recognise this brutal humiliation. Instead of being hung from a post or arch, this victim has been crucified facedown on to a cross: one arm hanging from each end of the horizontal spar by a single, thick, iron nail through each wrist whilst their neck and ankles are bound to the central post by leather cord. Two whole swathes of the flesh from their back have been sliced open with a sharp blade and peeled outward. The ribs have been severed from the spine, the lungs pulled out and sewn to the flaps of skin so they hang like grotesque wings. The sawn ribs add a pattern of 'feathers' to the 'eagle' on display.
From the sparse amount of blood on the ground, this victim was killed elsewhere before being brought to their current spot to be nailed in. More scientific or similarly precise examination of the leather cord used reveals that the 'leather' has been derived from human skin. It does not look as though the skin was taken from this particular victim however.
