Description and Symbolism
​
We see a scene in a town. An old man with a white beard sits in front of an archway. He wears a luxurious robe that is decorated with grapes and symbols and is petting a dog on its head. In the background we see a man and a woman - one entering and one leaving through an archway that leads to a town. The woman has a child with her, that is petting another dog on its tail. The people in the picture seem to be connected in some way. It could be that they are a family. With the old man and the young child, the people entering and leaving, and the dogs being petted on the head and on the tail, a feeling comes up that this card is about life cycles and connectedness. The 10 pentacles superimposed over the picture indicate financial security and achievements.
