Card features figures in Middle Eastern garb, including a fez. The hat is generally associated with the Ottoman Empire and Turkey although it was worn in several countries such as Morocco, too. The hat has enjoyed some mystique in the USA. Several American fraternal organizations such as the Shriners, Masons and many others adapted the hat for their own use. Figures from Middle Eastern cultures are very rarely pictured on valentines
