Ten of Pentacles
Ten pentacles overlay a scene of an older seated figure, two dogs, a child and adults beneath an archway. The circular emblems sit across the upper arch and the crowded foreground, partly obscuring the people and architectural setting. The discs occupy the same visual field as the people, joining a patterned surface to a small domestic narrative. Pamela Colman Smith’s design appears in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
