Subject

Description
78 cards + a 158 page softcover companion book in a 2-part, slipcase-style cardboard shelf box.
The cards measure 8 cm wide x 12 cm long. The card stock is smooth and flexible, with a lightly glossy finish.
The card back design is fully reversible.
Strength is VIII and Justice is XI. The Fool is numbered 0.
Suits are Wands, Cups, Swords, and Coins. The court cards are Page, Knight, Queen, and King.
The minor arcana are illustrated pips. Because the art style is so visually busy, I find the pips especially challenging. My eyes don't quite know where to land.
When I was measuring and scanning these cards, I noticed an interesting detail; unlike most decks, the card art includes the artist's signature and date at the bottom right corner, in tiny script, just below the card borders. Some of the cards give a year of 1988 and others give a year of 1989.
The companion book, written by Helena Patterson, is quite thorough and insightful.
