Mini medieval playing cards and framed icon
Here are some of my individual medieval cards along with the two version of the icon. These cards are based on a set in The Cloisters museum. Instead of the four familiar suits that we have on modern playing cards, this deck has a hunting theme, so the suits are collars, horns, tethers and nooses. You can read about the originals at www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1983.515.1-52 . I made these slightly bigger than 1:6 size so that the details would show up well if I should end up using them in a photoshoot someday. But for a sense of scale, in Duncan's 1:6 study (if I ever build one), that framed icon would be the equivalent of 6" tall. In a regular 1:12 scale dollhouse, it would be a foot tall, and the playing cards would be way too large for regular dollhouse figures.
