The deck was inspired by Grimaud’s Cartes Indiennes around 1900. No revoke suits: hearts are red with numerals colored in red and yellow; diamonds are yellow (numerals in yellow and blue); spades are blue (numerals in blue and red) and clubs are black (engraved). The artist has signed the deck on a blank card with an ink pen and dated it „13 feb. 1992“.
