This deck is designed for the Swiss game of Jass . The manufacture's name is printed on the sides of the box, and one side illustrates the blue and white back of the cards. Each of the 36 cards in the deck is 8.7cm long x 5.6cm wide and are gilded at the edges. The suit markings on this deck are different from German, Italian, or French suit markings. Suit symbols are in the upper left and right corners with court figure names.
Duces have large suit representations.
The deck pictured on the right, although purchased in Milan, Italy, is a Swiss deck. To complicate matters - it uses the French national suit symbols. The deck was acquired by the Museum in 1978. The back of the box has a sample of the card backs - which are pictured below the box. There are 40 cards in the deck.
