Visual Description

A robed master wearing a red cap stands in an apple orchard, holding up a pentacle disk and pointing to its design. Two younger figures kneel before him on the grass, one with dark curly hair and the other blond, appearing attentive and engaged in their work. Three large pentacle discs lie on the ground in front of them and several small chisels or stakes are stuck into the turf. Fruit-laden trees frame the scene and a squirrel near the figures nibbles an apple while a bowl of seeds or nuts rests nearby. At the bottom of the card a banner reads "Three of Pentacles."
