Stuttgart pack

It is a hunting-themed deck of playing cards painted on gilded pasteboard dating to around 1430.

The suits of stags and hounds are led by female face cards (Queen, female Ober, female Unter) while the suits of ducks and falcons are led by men (King, male Ober, male Unter).

The 10 of each suit is represented with a banner like in Swiss playing cards.

The backs are uniformly painted with red lead.

A limited edition facsimile of the cards was produced as a boxed set with accompanying booklet in German and English by an unknown manufacturer with the claim that the original cards are the oldest surviving pack in Europe.
