The is a Triumphal Chariot of the World, by late 16th century Flemish engraver Phillipp Galle. As best as I can tell, the two horses represent Day and Night. The ladies at the four corners appear to symbolize the four elements of fire, air, water, and earth.I think it would be interesting to create a Tarot in which each trump is depicted as a chariot in a triumphal procession. This German website has more information on the image above.
