This illustrations belongs with Chapter 19 ("Mourning")  of "The War of the Stolen Mother."  All epic cultures indulge in complex mourning rituals for their dead heroes.  However, here we see a different kind of mourning rite.  Who and why is Za'dut, our trickster character, mourning?  You'll have to read the book to find out.
