from the Rider Waite tarot deck, this is a sew on patch of The Fool.
In tarot card reading, the Fool is usually considered part of the Major Arcana. This is not true in tarot card games; the Fool's role in most games is independent of both the plain suit cards and the trump cards, and the card does not belong to either category. As such, most tarot decks originally made for game playing do not assign a number to the Fool indicating its rank in the suit of trumps; it has none. Waite gives the Fool the number 0, but in his book discusses the Fool between Judgment, no. 20, and The World, no. 21. The only traditional game deck that numbers the Fool 0 is the Tarocco Piemontese. Since the 1930s, Tarot Nouveau decks often use a black inverted mullet as the corner index for the Fool. In almost all tarot games, the Fool is one of the most valuable cards.

All patches are silk screened, hand made by me. They are safe to go in the washer, but may fray a bit, depending on how you sew it. Black and natural fabric is a heavy weight cotton canvas. Any other fabrics are either upcycled from old clothing, or thrifted and will vary in weight and may show slight sings of wear.
