🪶 Collector’s Note

This is one of the more unusual tarot adaptations of the 1990s — produced during a period when Lo Scarabeo experimented with thematic art decks.

Because the Minor Arcana were never created, this edition stands as a self-contained Major Arcana art project, making it particularly interesting for:
Its limited production, oversized format, and niche crossover appeal make it increasingly difficult to find in complete condition.

A true bridge between pop culture and esoteric symbolism.
