4 of Jewels
4 of Jewels

- Description
-
The 4 of Jewels depicts a pair of statues, appparently linked at the shoulders, one with breasts and one without. Their faces are undecorated, except for their long noses and smooth lips. From the neck of the statue with breasts hangs a necklace of bone. It is the only adornment of the two statues. The background is dark with just a hint of light in the top left corner.
- Interpretation
-
I'm not very clear on this card. There is no immediate resonance with the images. The card itself feels static, empty. Perhaps that is all there is to the card, though I doubt it. The fours have the luxury of being solid and dependable, but the flip side to this is that they can become stagnate or trapped by that stability. I'm not sure if that applies here. The definition from the handbook is that this card represents pretense, though I'm not sure how. Perhaps the two statues are idols, standing in place of actual worship or divinity. Perhaps there is an aspect of blindness or deafness here, since neither of the idols has either eyes or ears. When I can't find something, I suppose the only question left to ask is what's missing that usually be there. Certainly this card bears more study before I can unlock its meaning.
- Application
-
Given the mysterious nature of the card, I don't currently have an accurate application.
