About this design
A crested helmet, an olive branch and a small owl.
The story behind it
Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, crafts and strategy, and with Jupiter and Juno she formed the Capitoline Triad, the three chief gods worshipped on Rome's Capitoline Hill. The owl is her symbol of wisdom, and her festival, the Quinquatrus, began on March 19 as a holiday for craftsmen, artists and schoolchildren, who gave their teachers a small gift called a minerval.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
