The claw with nine is a 12-cell still life. This still life is comprised of the normally unstable claw with a normally unstable nine attached.

It can be substitutively referred to as the integral with claw, with one pre-block of the integral sign replaced with a claw, however "claw with nine" is usually preferred for this object.
