Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards

Created by Svetlana A. Touchkoff
This stunning Russian lacquer-style package of twenty-five full-color cards and accompanying book combines the beauty of Russian lacquer box art with the fun of an age-old gypsy system for revealing your path in life.
 
These unusual Russian Gypsy Fortunetelling cards are like a puzzle. Each card has four quarter-images, which match up with the other cards to make a huge picture. The Russian lacquer box art used for the cards is gorgeous.
 
Although there are only 25 cards, there are a total of 50 illustrations depicted in the quarters of the cards. The backs of the cards are black with a gold design.  What makes this deck particularly unique is the fact that the cards are separate from the pictures - a reader doesn't work with the "cards" other than to lay them out - they work with the pictures created by combining the cards together through rotation of the card in its place. This makes for an interesting abstract-like detachment between the cards and the pictures. They are not like Tarot in any way, but provide incredibly accurate readings.
