Nine of Pentacles
A robed woman holds a bird on one wrist amid grapevines, nine pentacles and a distant house. The long pale garment leaves a broad central area of quiet detail between two clusters of yellow emblems. The upright figure and raised bird provide a calm centre between the two clusters of emblems. Pamela Colman Smith’s design appears in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
