The Flemish Hunting Deck, also known as the Cloisters set of fifty-two playing cards and Hofjaren Jachtpakket (in Dutch), is a set of fifty-two playing cards owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, United States.[1] It is significant in that it is the only complete set of ordinary playing cards from the fifteenth century.[1] Estimate ranges of manufacture are between 1470 and 1480.[2]
The rounded-ended cards consist of suits represented by hunting equipment along with face cards which represent exaggerated fashion from the 15th century.[3]
The cards are hand-drawn and painted on pasteboard, with highlights of gold and silver, in the contemporary technique for illuminated manuscripts.[1]
