The mainlines of the hoist
My drawing is incomplete as the man who guides the donkey is missing. At the end of the stroke, the man lifts the trace so the animal can turn around and then walk up the ramp. At the top, the donkey again turns around and then takes a little rest. After a minute, the man and the donkey assist each other to overcome the extra haul at the beginning. After a few steps the donkey takes over the entire work.

In the desert you have to bring with you your own rope and sack. The sack is made of leather and so is the rope. At some places there could be a pulley but in the desert this is nog the rule.
The drawing is a bad copy of a famous Persian manuscript painted in 1341. Is is to be found in Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Mass. USA.
