How this deck reads it

That two snakes are coiled around the winged staff set between the two people, with a lion's head placed at the top, shows that this relationship is not theirs alone. The third structure filling the space between them stands in symmetry, revealing that facing each other is itself a matter of balance. The equal height of the hands exchanging the two golden cups reads in the same context.

The pale garments are a choice that deliberately subtracts from the deep primary colors of dancheong. Together with the small pavilion in the background, they speak through the temperature of color that this scene is not one of passion but of calm accord.

Artwork

A man and a woman in long-sleeved robes face each other, each holding a cup, and between them hang a staff entwined with a snake and a winged lion's head. Behind them a house stands on a hill.
