This is a black and white sketch depicting a scene of a wizard preparing for a 'spirit flight'. The central figure is a man bound head to knees and hands behind, suggesting restraint or preparation for a ritual. A drum rests on his foot, appearing to beat itself, and bird's wings are fastened to his back. The scene takes place in a rustic room with a low ceiling and wooden walls. The room contains simple furniture, including a stool or small table. The style of the drawing is sketchy and expressive, with a focus on capturing the energy and movement of the scene. The overall impression is one of mystery and ritualistic preparation.
