The ornaments on the tuck box and on the back of the cards are old foundry ornaments used in early printing.

The fingerprint on the box is a glimpse at the suit symbols of each card which are made with fingerprints.

As a result, no suit symbol is ever repeated on the same card. For instance, the 10 of Diamond has 10 different fingerprints!

The box is secured with a silver foil stamp seal.
