Visual Description
A young, short-clothed man stands with a round shield on his left arm and a short dagger in his right hand facing a towering minotaur behind iron bars. The minotaur has a dark bull's head with large horns, a human torso and muscular arms reaching forward as if to grab or push. The scene is set in a cave or stone chamber with a barred gate, torchlight and a patterned golden border; the number 10 and the word SWORDS appear at the top of the card. The figures fill the frame in a tense, close confrontation.
