The Red Violin film deck

Aeric

The 1998 film The Red Violin has a five-card Tarot reading at the heart of its story. Each card represents a different time and place in history of the film's five vignettes. The first vignette, when the reading takes place, is in Cremona, Italy in 1681. Here are images of each as well as the deck back:

I'd like some help discerning what Tarot deck would closest resemble the Red Violin deck. As the images show it is a deck created for the film as a couple of cards bear unique symbols linking them to their vignettes. The cards are well aged, so we might assume the deck was created in the late 1500s to early 1600s. The cards have Italian titles with Roman numerals.

The Moon - La Luna

All of the traditional elements are visible: Moon, two dogs, buildings, crayfish. This Moon is only surrounded by a few stars instead of many drops.

The Hanged Man - L'Impiccato

The man hangs from a horizontal bar by his right leg, with his left bent. The right tree trunk is only half the height of the left. I've also seen this card titled "L'Appeso." What early decks title him "L'Impiccato?"

The Devil - Il Diavolo

The Devil has the jawed belly of some decks and holds a single imp captive. This may be unique to the film as a single woman ensnared by the Devil man is the subject of the vignette. I only recall the Devil holding two imps on decks.

Justice - La Giustizia

The most obvious unique creation as Justice has the figure of a woman in braids wearing a 1960s Communist Party uniform. She holds scales but also has a ship with sails behind her right shoulder. In the vignette, after one character arrives in China by boat, another is judged from a podium by just such a woman. A large star against a red backdrop, for China.

Death - no title Reversed in the film but righted here.

The skeleton with scythe, wearing a red cape or scarf and facing right. Buildings stretch across the horizon.

The back of the cards has a symmetrical diamond flame pattern suitable for reversals.

Director Francois Girard didn't indicate the specific decks from which he drew inspiration for this one. It's obvious that he aimed for a general Marseille resemblance, but can the above hints coincidentally point even closer to one or two actual decks?

Hello Aeric

This deck is based on the Dodal (1701), as amended names and graphics added for better atmosphere to the to film.

Yeah, interestingly adjusted to meet the themes of the movie - like the Diavolo only has one 'dude' in bondage rather than two.
