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.

Robert Place, author of The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination

Fortitude is usually represented with a weapon and armor (in this case, a shield). Temperance always carries two jars and pours water from one into the other. Justice carries the sword and scales and Prudence has a mirror. At the Galleria Uffizi there is a set of Allegories of the Virtues, by Botticelli that pretty much uses the standard iconography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.206.168.210 (talk) 13:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
