Description

Amazon The Ambraser court hunting game, also called "Ambraser Falconer Cards", is a card game painted around 1440-1445 and attributed to the engraver Konrad Witz from Basel, Switzerland. It originally consisted of fifty-six cards, of which only 54 are preserved, divided into four colors: hawks, baits, dogs and herons, symbols associated with hunting. Each colour contained ten picture cards, with the 10 represented by a banner, as with many old German playing cards and modern Swiss playing cards. There are four picture cards per color: Bottom, Upper, Lady and King. It was found in the sixteenth century in a collection at Ambras Palace in Innsbruck and is now a treasure in the map collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
