Visual Description
A central, dark-haired woman stands before a backdrop of red flames or drapery, wearing a dark corset and a large pentagram pendant. She places her hands on the heads of two nude figures who kneel facing each other, their bodies turned toward the viewer but heads bowed; their wrists are connected by a chain that loops between them. The ground is rocky and strewn with skulls and bones. The Roman numeral XV appears at the top and bottom of the card within a decorative border.
