Npccd 2019 Palace - Blue Gate "Goats In Trees" (Tiled & Blue Gilded)

This series celebrates the beauty of Moroccan architecture and the origins around it. Because they were unable to create art with the human figure (sculptures and paintings), they celebrated their art by embracing complex and intricate geometry. These patterns were a way of expressing themselves and is what built the culture into what it is today. Throughout the following decks you’ll see multiple examples of different types of plaster and zellij pattern work, including a custom-made discovery pattern for the faces and courts. The Blue Gate "Goats in Trees" was never sold publicly but was a limited edition only available to members who attended the 2019 52 Plus Joker Convention in Charlotte, limited to only 99 available. The goats in trees represented the real deal argon oil. It was an inside joke the Moroccan locals had against tourists. The deck was made as a tribute to that joke by Alex and presented at the convention's new deck presentation panel.
