Image Description

Three figures stand on a stage.  The central character is wearing a red hat and coat, a striped blue and white tunic, red belt, red tights, and green boots.  One hand is pointed downwards and dropping coins into the cupped hands of a supplicant kneeling before them. The other hand is pointed upwards and holds a weighing scale. The position of the hands is similar to cards such as the Magician and again, the Devil. The scales are held above the head of the other supplicant, who wears a patched, blue cloak.
