Visual Description
On a pale pink field a single upright sword is rendered in delicate gold line art, its tip pointing downward and a small teardrop beneath. Above the blade sits a crown and radiating sun-like rays, with chains of tiny beads and teardrop ornaments draping symmetrically from the central axis. Stylized jewels hang at three levels on each side, linked by graceful arcs of dotted chains. The word "QUEEN" appears centered at the top and "OF SWORDS" at the bottom of the card.
