The Wisdom of Tao Oracle Cards Box

The item depicted is a box for 'The Wisdom of Tao Oracle Cards' by Mei Jin Lu. The box is made of cardboard, likely laminated, and exhibits a two-tone design. The left section features an illustration in earthy tones, primarily ochre and light brown, showcasing an East Asian-style figure, presumably a woman, in traditional attire with elaborate hair. She appears to be set against a minimalist landscape with a full moon and several cranes in flight and on the ground. A stringed instrument resembling a pipa is visible near one of the cranes. The color palette suggests traditional East Asian art. The right section of the box is a solid, deep reddish-brown (maroon) color, providing a contrasting background for the text. The title 'The Wisdom of Tao' is prominently displayed in a stylized, elegant script, with 'BY MEI JIN LU' above it in a smaller sans-serif font. Below the main title, 'ORACLE CARDS' is printed, followed by '45-Cards and a Guidebook'. The box shows visible signs of wear, particularly around the edges and corners, where the color and top layer of the cardboard are scuffed and chipped, revealing the lighter material beneath. This indicates typical use and handling over time rather than significant damage. The overall construction appears to be a standard retail packaging for a card deck. The aesthetic combines traditional East Asian artistic elements with a clear, functional layout for the product information. No specific manufacturing marks or dates are discernible from the image, but the style suggests a contemporary production. The quality seems standard for mass-produced oracle or tarot card sets.
