Bird with Crown, Fire, Sword: Strange, Intense, Ledger-Esque Vintage Child's Crayon Drawing

This is one of several drawings by the same maker I'm listing today--which I must say made my heart beat faster when I found them. I believe done by a child--and I have to think an adolescent boy--but to my eye these have the clarity and intensity of Native American ledger drawings, which might be my favorite things in the world. These are dark for sure, portraying battle scenes and torturous scenarios, and then there is the giant yellow duck wearing a crown watching over, seeming the king of this particular world. And a world it is. I find these very striking and powerful and beyond time, and will be more than glad to keep them for myself. 

12 1/16" x 9 1/6", crayon on card weight paper, excellent condition, bright and crisp.
