Visual Description
A bandaged mummy sits upright on a high purple throne, gripping a golden staff topped with a jack-o'-lantern-like cross. Two green cats lounge at the mummy's feet while a black cat arches behind the throne and a bat hangs in the dark space above. Ornate jars with jackal heads and floral decorations flank the seat, and ivy climbs the gray walls at either side. At the card's base is a small diamond with the Roman numeral V and the title 'The Hierophant'.
