Book Pin: The Odyssey

Wear your book on your sleeve!

Odysseus's ship, blessed by Athena (represented by the owl), but blown off course by Aeolus's bag of winds that his greedy men let loose, thinking it was treasure kept from them.

Based on an original drawing by Jane Mount. She says: "With the Book Pins, I'm trying to capture the essence of a book in less than an inch square."

This badge is a hard enamel lapel pin with raised gold-plated outlines. It's about 1 inch tall by 0.75 inches wide, and attaches to your clothing with a black rubber clutch. It ships pinned to a small cardboard plaque in a cellophane envelope.
