Visual Description
A pale green-skinned figure kneels at the edge of a shallow pool, head crowned by a large pink-purple flower, leaning forward with one hand touching the water. A red crab or small lobster clings to the bank near the figure's hand while four golden cups sit in the foreground on the water's surface. Steep gray cliffs frame the scene on either side beneath a warm yellow sky, an ornate cup symbol appears in the black top border, and the numeral 4 is printed at the bottom center.
