A central rectangular vignette depicts two human figures among yellow flowers beneath a pale sky; one figure sits with their back to the viewer, shoulders and back exposed, draped in a green cloth, while another figure's head and upper body recline to the right. The scene is framed by a grey border that contains five horizontal swords with golden hilts — two above the image and three below it. A narrow vertical strip along the left edge shows multilingual labeling including the line '5 - SPADE - SWORDS - SCHWERTER - ESPADAS - EPEES.'
