As-Nas playing card: Couli/Lakat لکات
Lacquered oil painting on cardboard, 6.1 x 4.3 cm, 1750–1850
Bibliothèque nationale de France
 

 

This card is the weakest individual card in As-Nas, but can still contribute to forming hands, such as pairs or other combinations. It depicts female dancers and reflects the Persian social structure of the time, where entertainers and musicians, while culturally valued, occupied a lower social status compared to nobles, soldiers, and other figures represented by the higher-ranking cards.
