Scythe

from The Game of Hope, c. 1799

Die Sense. A scythe lies across a sheaf of grain, and beside them stands a small red hourglass. Insets: the Unter of bells and the jack of diamonds. Harvest imagery with an edge; the hourglass, an old memento mori, is unique to this early version and vanished from later Lenormand scythes.
