The scene here, again, has many similarities with the Rider-Waite, except that here, instead to be in a church, we are in a vault. Here is a skeleton with white wings, like a recumbent statue, his hands crossed on his chest like a dead person. There are four arches in the back, each of them containing a sword. Next to the skeleton stands a woman wearing a white dress. She seems to be concerned and loving about the skeleton, her right hand on his chest, her above him.
There is something written on the edge of the coffin, in latin I guess: "Libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis obscurum". I got almost nothing from a latin dictionary.
Libera: free, independent, unrestricted
Animas: air, soul, life, breath
Omnium: ???
Fidelium: ???
Defunctorum: ???
De: ???
Poenis: ???
Obscurum: darkness
The swords might be in the back, but they give the illusion that they are stabbing the skeleton. The woman seems to be protecting him and taking care of his wounds, waiting patiently that he recovers and be loving while he's resting.
