Before a table covered with the appliances of his art stands the figure of a juggler, one hand upraised holding a wand (in some packs, a cup), the other pointing downwards. He wears a cap of maintenance like that of the kings, whose wide brim forms a sort of aureole round his head.

This extraordinary symbol is almost unintelligible in the double-headed cards.

(Two sacks or weights are attached to his armpits.) He symbolises Sacrifice.
