Lost Wax Playing Cards

Take a step back in time to Fifteenth century Africa, a land untouched by the Western world. A nation where arts and entertainment were more than a vehicle of self expression -- they were a way of life.

Lost Wax Playing Cards is a tribute to the West African land of intrigue -- kingdoms, where wonder was traded in place of gold.

This unique deck, designed by Olutade Abidoye, features a vibrant color palette and back design that emulates gorgeous tapestries from the era. In addition, art connoisseurs and history buffs alike will delight in a set of custom court cards that honor native paintings and etchings of the period.

Printed by the U.S. Playing Card Co. and packaged inside a custom box featuring gold foil and embossed accents.
