Death — Two Tarot Designs
Two skeletons work scythes across fields containing severed heads, hands and growing forms. A more upright skeleton in one design contrasts with the bent, long-limbed figure in the other. Papus presents these comparative treatments of the thirteenth arcanum within the symbolic section of The Tarot of the Bohemians.
