Ace of Pentacles
A hand emerges from a cloud holding a large pentacle above a garden path leading through a leafy arch. The single yellow disc occupies the upper centre, supported by the open hand extending from the left. The great disc in the open sky contrasts with the small path that leads through the garden towards mountains. Pamela Colman Smith’s design appears in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
