Minchiate Tarot Playing Card with Flames and Striped Animal

A tall printed card bears the Roman numeral XX in a scroll at top, with orange flames rising across most of its face. At lower left, a yellow, striped animal resembling a big cat stands on green ground, and the hand-applied colors suggest a stencil-colored woodblock print.
