Eight of Swords

Visual Description
The card title at the bottom reads 'Eight of Swords'. A blindfolded woman stands in a muddy, yellow-brown terrain wearing a loose, faded pink dress, black boots, and a dark shawl wrapped high around her neck and lower face. Eight upright swords are planted in the ground around her, forming a scattered enclosure but not a solid fence. Her hands hang at her sides and her feet are visible on the ground; there are no other people or animals in the scene.
