Bound cylindrical devices and a fantastical beast head
Two corded, sack-like containers with carrying loops above a maned dragon-like head
The upper half shows two cylindrical objects tightly bound with cords and fitted with hanging loops or bail handles; one is tied off at both ends like a stuffed sack, the other hangs mouth-up like a bucket or lantern with a conical, tasselled base. Given the military character of these leaves, they read as slung incendiary or camp devices. Below, drawn separately, is a fantastical beast or dragon head in profile, with a flowing mane and open jaws. An old inventory letter 'C.' and library stamps appear at the edges.
