Apparently, this is not on google yet:
Divitiae ducunt et forma et gratia currum.
Segnities regit has regi astant saevities et
suspicio rex ipse apmor est quem tempore serus
et dolor et tristis pudor et mors atra sequuntur.
Riches, Beauty and Grace lead the chariot.
Sluggishness drives, before the king there are
Anger and Suspect, the king is Love himself who is followed by
slow Time, Pain, sad Shame and dark Death.
The object on the shoulders of Time looks similar to that held by the Sola Busca trump V Catulo.
It does indeed, good catch.marco wrote:

The mural and poem are truly wondrous! Thank you, Huck and Marco.Ross G. R. Caldwell wrote:It does indeed, good catch.marco wrote:

I wonder if it is a balance or weight-scale? But then, why not like the common kind (like Justice always holds)?
Also, it looks like Time is holding a lantern. Thus, even when the hourglass turned into a lantern in Tarot, the figure could stil be considered an allegory of Time.
