Visual Description

A central rectangular vignette shows two figures: a blond person in a hooded garment holding a knife and pressing a hand over the mouth of a dark‑haired, partially bare‑chested figure who looks distressed. Eight silver and gold chalices are arranged symmetrically, four above and four below the scene, against a muted gray border. The background inside the vignette is a washed green landscape or water, and the card has a narrow white margin with multilingual text running vertically at left.
