Above: fifteen cards from a primitive Latin suited pack, possibly of German origin for export to Spain, dated by paper analysis as "early XV century". There are Moorish influences in some of the cards: see the double-panelled Saracenic shield on the cavalier of swords (middle row).
 

The cards show lingering evidence of a suit system derived from early Arabic cards. They have been coloured by a technique known as 'a la morisca' which involved using the fingers dipped into the pigment. Cards in the Museo "Fournier" de Naipes de Alava.
