Visual Description

A bearded man stands on higher ground wearing a fur cloak and leather armor, gripping a long, knobby staff diagonally across his body. Several other staves rise from the lower ground toward him as if challenging his position. The Roman numeral VII appears at the top of the card, and a banner at the bottom shows Cyrillic text and small symbols. The scene is muted in tone with a rough, windswept landscape and a sense of tension between the figure and the wands below.
