A lubok is a Russian popular print, characterized by simple graphics and narratives derived from literature, religious stories, and popular tales. Early examples from the late 17th and early 18th centuries were woodcuts, followed by engravings or etchings, and from mid-19th century lithography. They sometimes appeared in series, which might be regarded as predecessors of the modern comic strip.
The deck has been created following Rider Waite traditions.
The deck has a conventional structure of 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. Minor Arcana classification by suits is also traditional and is represented by Wands, Cups, Swords and Coins.

I occasionally open up the cards for quality control. Don't worry if your deck is opened!
Please note that:
- the buyer is responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
- damages to the cards that wouldn’t reasonably impact a tarot reading as minor scuff marks, or scratches will not be replaced.
- harsh shuffling and handling of the cards might wear down the gilding.
