Anchor

from The Game of Hope, c. 1799

Der Anker. A large anchor, tilted, with a ring at its head. Insets: nine of leaves and nine of spades. The emblem of hope and the goal of the original race game; the player whose token reached the anchor won. In the oracle it became stability, work, something to hold fast to.
