Description

Grey pencil drawing on horizontal rectangular sheet of ivory paper of a girl throwing stones to scare birds away from a meat drying rack supported with stones. From the rack hang five pieces of meat and possibly some intestines. The rack is being attacked by flying creatures. While three are clearly birds, one is an imaginary bird with two heads, two bodies, six wings and four legs. Under the drying rack sits a female figure with stones in both her hands, to throw at the birds. The bird immediately to the right of the imaginary bird has been struck by one of the stones.
