Visual Description

An older, bearded man in a fur-lined robe and a red turban stands on a stone terrace, holding a large gold pentacle up in his right hand while his left rests on a staff topped with a double-ringed crook. A carved stone bull or gargoyle is visible to his left, and behind him rises a tall castle tower with red roofs. Autumn leaves and flowering vines frame the scene, and a crown motif sits at the top of the card while another pentacle appears at the bottom border. The figure’s cloak hangs over one arm and his red shoes are visible on the tiled floor.
