This fragment of an anonymous playing card deck, likely from the 15th century, depicts a combination of hearts and bells, two of the traditional four suits in a standard deck of playing cards. The intricate, hand-drawn designs on the card showcase the artistry of card making in the early days of the game. The worn and faded paper testifies to the card's age and the years of use it has endured. This artifact offers a glimpse into the history of playing cards and their role in entertainment and leisure activities.
