Art Medium:
Pen line with block process colour.
Description:
Gift tarot with the magazine Vera (Issue 317 May 1990), which also issued 'I Tarocchi Polinesiani della Gioia' and 'Le sibille della luna'. The designs were inspired by the Santeria religion as practiced in Cuba. They do not follow the established tarot images, but reflect instead the essence of one of the Santeria deities. Thus cards are named 1 - Elegua, 2 - Jemaja, 3 - Obatala, 4 - Orunmila, 5 - Osain, and so on.
