These are the court cards from suit of spades in the Celtic Myth Playing Cards produced by Acken Studies. You can purchase this deck from the Acken Studios online store.
The Sword of Nuadha, one of the four magical items brought by the Tuatha Dé Danann, is featured as the Ace of Spades while Niall Noígiallach and Cú Roí Mac Dáire represent the jacks. The queens are Tailtiu, mother of Lugh, and Ernmbás from the Lebor Gabála hÉreann. The kings are Nuadha Airgeadlamh himself and his opponent from the war against the Fomorians, Breass.
Drawing on original medieval Irish and Welsh myths, these are the most authentic depictions of figures like Manannán Mac Lír (the Welsh Manawydan ap Lŷr) and Fionn Mac Cumhaill. You can find more informaiton on the deck and its figures at The Celtic Deck.com
