Sola Busca Tarot Mini

The oldest 78 surviving tarot cards

This is a miniature version of the tarot cards that faithfully reproduces the SOLA BUSCA TAROT kept at the Brera Art Museum in Italy.

The Sola Busca Tarot is a tarot deck created in Italy in the late 15th century and handed down by the Sola Busca family of Milan.

A distinctive feature of this tarot deck is that all of the Minor Arcana cards are depicted as face cards. At the time, there were no cards with face cards for the Minor Arcana, making this deck the oldest tarot deck in existence.

It is speculated that this is the origin of the Rider-Waite version. In addition, the Major Arcana, except for "0 = Fool," feature portraits and names of historical figures.

The set consists of 78 cards in total, 22 of which are called the Major Arcana and 56 of which are called the Minor Arcana.

The back of the card is indistinguishable between upright and reversed. The case comes in a cover-type hard box.
