A tall, narrow sheet of brown paper with white chalk drawings, photographed in a room with shelves behind it. At the top left is a sun-like circle with radiating rays and a simple face. At the top right, a partial curved outline is cut off by the edge. The central figure is a rough chalk sketch of a standing person with a headdress of feathery strokes, outstretched arms and legs, and bands at the wrists and ankles. Below are simple sketched objects, including a bell-shaped form, a lamp-like bowl, a flat elongated object, and several small flame-like shapes along the bottom. No people are visible in the scene, and no a person candidate appears.
