The Crowned Spirit on a Winged Dragon
A crowned figure sits upon a scaled dragon with broad webbed wings and a curling tail. A forked implement extends from the rider’s hand, and star signs occupy the space above and below. The source caption presents the form as an appearance attributed to evil spirits. The fanciful composite belongs to the book’s demonological imagery rather than a depicted animal from nature.
