This image depicts a person standing in the middle of the paper, taking up most of the page. They are wearing a parka that is shaded with green and yellow, and red and grey pants that cut off at the knee. They are wearing tufted mukluks that meet the pants at the knee. The person's clothes are drawn with a scale-like pattern, seemingly to achieve the texture or replicate fur. The person has shoulder length black hair and bangs. They are holding a large bird with a long neck in their right hand, while a different kind of bird seems to be sitting atop the person's head with its wings outstretched, almost as wide as the paper. To the left of the person is a tool that has a sharpened bottom, with a bag attached by a rope to the left, and what looks like a quiver to the right. On the top of the weapon there appears to be loops of rope and potentially a piece of hide. The middle appears to be a branch of wood, with a protruding notch in the middle of the branch on the left side.
