About this design
A laurel wreath, a lyre and a glance over the shoulder.
The story behind it
In the Greek myth, the musician Orpheus played so beautifully that the rulers of the underworld let him lead his wife back to the world above, on one condition: he must not look back until they reached the daylight. Just before the end, he turned to check on her and lost her.
Proposed colors: Natural
Mockups show the print at true scale on a size M tee. Colors are proposed, not final.
