These are two examples of Clow Cards namely The Watery and The Mirror. Note the Chinese character written on the top of each card.
What
are Clow Cards? (Ku-Luo Cards in Chinese)
These are
cards that possess magical powers and there are 52 of them. They
were created by a magician called Clow Reed (Li Syaoran's ancestor). The
cards have different figures on them, some of them elements, e.g. The
Watery & The Firey; objects, e.g. The Arrow & The Mirror. While
others are Actions, e.g. The Fight, The Dash. Most of the drawings are
humanoid and female for that matter. Sakura has to capture the cards and
she can use the power of her captured cards to assist her in her quest.
