Visual Description
A large coiling dragon-like sea creature fills the card, its scaled body curling in waves and a horned, bearded head at the center. A small golden crown floats above the head, and concentric golden rings encircle the face against an orange halo. The palette is dominated by purples, blues and pinks, with clawed forepaws and detailed scales visible. The letter 'K' appears at the top of the card and the word 'chalices' is printed at the bottom; decorative stars and white lattice motifs frame the corners.
