The card shows a handsome bearded king sitting on his throne, a gold crown on his head. He has a staff in his right hand and a cup in his other. He wears a necklace with a fish hanging from it. He sits under an arch of golden feathers above a stream of fishes swimming. In the background waves are breaking under a cloudy sky.
