Resemblance between central rosette's "towers" and small-plants' "containers".

Hi Yulia,
I believe that two of the three tarot cards you posted are XX Century replacements by U.S. Games Systems Inc for their edition of the Cary-Yale (Visconti di Modrone) deck. All the Visconti-Sforza decks are incomplete and publishers have created different replacements for the missing cards.

As stated in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., the only surviving You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is the one at the Pierpont Morgan collection. The replacement was clearly inspired by the You are not allowed to view links.

Also You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (the Juggler or Magician, according to later esotericists) is preserved at the Pierpont Morgan collection, but missing in the other decks. In particular, the idea that the symbols of the four suits are displayed on the Bagatto's desk (as in the card you posted) was conceived at the end of the XIX Century, I believe by Gerard Encausse aka Dottor Papus.

The two of cups appears to be genuine (now at Accademia Carrara in Bergamo).
