Italian renaissance woodcut playing cards
Block T2
All preserved fragments are coloured, and come from at least four
different imprints.
Note that although it is well-preserved, the cavallo di
bastoni (knight of batons) has no recognisable suit symbol, and is
firmly identified only by a process of elimination (as the three other
knights are accounted for).

5044 is a composite of 4 overlapping fragments from different
imprints. The top strip could possibly be from the same imprint as the
main sheet, but the strip between them matches neither. Fragment 46781
forms the original bottom strip of the main sheet, but has been replaced
by a larger and better fragment in the composite.
