(After)
Two curved swords intersect. At the centre is a lithographed design in black ink of bow, quiver arrows and cudgel containing an arrow. The weaponry relates to the attributes of Artemis, the huntress and the cudgel containing an arrow is possibly a reference to Orion. The card is unnumbered. From a complete set of 52 Greek playing cards of the Venetian type. Lithography in black ink, coloured with three stones of blue, red and yellow. The backs of the cards feature a lithographed design in blue ink of a repeated crown pattern.
