A carved and painted rectangular relief, resembling a playing card, is mounted vertically on a textured, light brown wall in Burgas, Bulgaria. The relief measures approximately 60-70 cm in height and 35-40 cm in width, featuring rounded corners and a raised, off-white border. The surface texture is rough and granular, indicative of concrete or coarse plaster. The central design depicts a stylized, full-length figure consistent with a Jack of Clubs. In the upper left and lower right corners of the border, a dark grey capital "J" with a decorative serif is present. Adjacent to each "J", a dark grey club symbol (♣) is embedded in the relief. The central figure is rendered in a traditional playing card style, with the top half showing the main depiction and the bottom half an inverted, truncated representation of the same figure. The main figure features a pale, beige-colored face with dark, wide eyes, a prominent nose, and a small, pointed dark brown goatee. A yellow-gold crown with darker accents rests on wavy, reddish-brown hair that curls at the sides. The figure wears a multi-colored garment featuring a patterned collar, a blue and white striped tunic, and elements of brown and ochre armor or clothing. The figure's hands, also beige-colored, grip two distinct objects. The figure's left hand (viewer's right) holds an upright, long, thin, brown staff or sword, partially obscured by the border. The figure's right hand (viewer's left) firmly grasps a larger, textured staff topped with a grey, crescent-shaped axe blade or halberd head. The inverted lower portion of the relief displays the top of the same figure's head and shoulders. This includes an inverted yellow-gold crown, an upside-down beige face with visible eyes and facial features, and wavy, reddish-brown hair. The entire relief is illuminated by a strong, directional light source from the upper right, casting pronounced shadows towards the left and downwards, accentuating the three-dimensional quality and coarse texture of the carving.
