Egipcio Taro Egyptian Holographic      Auri Campolonghi Gonella      Brazil                                                   Art Medium: Pencil outlines with watercolour. Description: Apparently the artwork is based on an interpretation by Marco Daffi of the Bembine or Isaic tablet in the Museum of Antiquities in Turin. The Bembine Tablet, the Bembine Table of Isis or the Mensa Isiaca (Isiac Tablet) is an elaborate tablet of bronze with enamel and silver inlay of probable Roman origin and mimicking Egyptian style. Daffi wrote some books on alchemical themes and seems to have been influenced by Giuliano Kremmerz. The source for the deck is probably Daffi's article 'Disposizione dei Trionfi in rapporto alla Tavola Bembina' Kemi-Hathor, Volume 14, N. 79, January 1996. The cards have holographic backs. The deck does not have a tarot structure. The 22 cards are not numbered and do not bear the traditional arcana names, but instead are labelled "Renovacao-Neutralidade" and so on. Some are immediately recognisable as tarot arcana but others are a little more obscure.
