Visual Description

A stone effigy of a reclining knight rests atop an ornate tomb inside a dim, vaulted chamber. A woman in a mauve dress kneels at the tomb, leaning forward with her arms over the effigy while dark red blood drips from her hands onto the carved stone. Several swords lie on the floor in front of her and a single sword symbol is shown along the top border; three narrow vertical windows cast shafts of light into the space. Architectural reliefs are carved into the tomb’s side and the scene is framed within a decorative card border marked with the numeral 4 at the bottom.
