Queen of Pentacles
A crowned queen looks down at a pentacle held in her lap beneath a leafy arch, with a rabbit beside the throne. The bowed face and curved arms draw attention toward the round emblem, contrasting with the busy carved throne and the vegetation framing the top and sides. The bowed head and encircling hands turn the emblem into a quiet centre within an abundant garden. Pamela Colman Smith’s design appears in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
