Six of Pentacles
A standing figure holds scales and distributes coins to two kneeling figures beneath six pentacles. The extended hand and the suspended balance divide the central figure's gestures between giving and weighing. Giving and weighing become parallel actions on opposite sides of the central body. Pamela Colman Smith’s design appears in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
