Visual Description
A large purple deer stands in a snowy, moonlit forest with two fawns at her side. Five circular pentacle-discs float among the bare, twisting branches above and around the herd. Snowflakes speckle the animals and the ground, and a starry, violet sky fills the oval frame. A small plaque at the top displays the Roman numeral V.
