Would someone please identify the virtues of trefoils. Thank you.
They are the four cardinal virtues: A Fortitude B Temperance C Justice D Prudence
They all have standard iconographic attributes that I can reference from my book on the symbolism of the Tarot or from Hall’s book on Italian iconography. The only problem is that Justice seems to has lost her sword and her hand holding her scales.
