Visual Description
A kneeling, partially-clothed woman sits on a rocky precipice before a tall carved pillar that bears a pentacle; a large serpent coils around the base and hisses beside the pillar while lightning flashes in a purple sky. The scene shows textured rock underfoot and the woman's gloved arm raised toward the pillar, a small dagger or awl in her hand. In the black border at the top left is a red numeral 8 and a gold pentacle symbol, and the top right reads PENTACLES / OROS while the lower left reads DENARI / DENIERS.
