As de Coupes

from The Jean Dodal Tarot, c. 1701-1715

The Ace of Cups as a piece of fantasy architecture: a great covered fountain-cup bristling with towers and spires, more reliquary than drinking vessel. The Marseille ace of cups kept this gothic form long after the buildings it echoed went out of fashion.
