Tarot-Artisanal – two very limited edition, hand crafted decks, trumps-only by Igor Barzilai: a Conver TdM and the Nicolas Rolichon TdM. The Rolichon is a late 17th-century TdM I type deck that’s so obscure Kaplan doesn’t list it in his encyclopedias. It’s recreated from pictures in an old French encyclopedia.
