That is cool. But what are the symbols? A bridle, a collar with a medallion, a whisk an a horn??? :)

I am wondering that myself! The last one is definitely a horn, but that's the only one I'm sure of.

A dangly-thing with loops - might be a hunter's snare thing to carry home kills?

The loops/whisks thing might be a pouch?

The red U-shaped thing.. is it a yoke, you put on a horse to pull a cart thingy?

It's wierd, but it's four different ones, and a set of 52 playing cards. I wanna make a set!
