.I bought a deck off ebay recently....does anyone know what it is?
Oh, I've just found out I can't add an image.. so I wil describe it. The cards are about 3 x 2.5 inches. It came without a box.
The figures are quite naively drawn, but very charming and colourful; and I like the black backgrounds on cards and backs. The court cards have pictures too, not just pips. The 4 of Pentacles is a pig in red trousers and a cap. The 10 of Swords has a man sitting onthe floor with all 10 swords in his back.
The Magician card has a hare, with a human face and hands, who is holding up a coin with the symbol of Mercury on it. The Chariot is a bicycle! The Fool is astride a big cat. The King and Queen of Cups are mer-people, and the Knight rides a whale..
The backs have a black background, with an eight pointed sun in the centre, with 2 moons and a lot of foliage and flowers, in which sits a man playing or reading cards. He has a hat with a feather. The images are mirrored, so that you can't tell if the cards are reversed.
All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase. The cherry on the cake would be finding out what it is
