The Knight of Swords waves a massive curved blade over his head. Its handle, in his right hand, is shaped like a serpent’s head. He is seen in profile, riding a horse toward the left side of the card. His costume, including a soft beret-style hat, is covered in red, blue, and green diamonds. His horse’s coat is also diamond-patterned, in red, black, pink, and green. The horse has beads in his mane and wears a ribbon shaped like a golden snake around his body.
