Egin: The Spirit’s Pictured Form
A crowned figure rides a fantastic bird-headed creature surrounded by coiling serpents. The source identifies the image as the form in which the spirit appears and places it above an invocation addressed to Egin, king of the north. Its hybrid animal forms give the adjacent conjuration a concrete visual counterpart.
