Many Tarot de Marseille authors see occult symbolism in many of the details of the 78 cards of the TdM deck. They see symbolism from the various occult sciences: astrology, Freemasonry, alchemy, Kaballah, etc.
This thread is about the question: What, if any, occult symbolism is _objectively_ present in the 1760 Conver Tarot de Marseille? If so, in which card?
For example:
Do the Emperor's crossed legs unmistakenly point to alchemical symbolism for Sulphur? Or is it merely one variation of a sitting position?
Does the image of the angel with the two vases in the Temperance card unambiguously intended to illustrate alchemical processes?
Are the twins in the Sun card unambiguously suggesting the astrological sign of Gemini?
What of the hermaphrodite devil in the Devil card, and the androgynous figure in the World card?
Any others?
