Summary

edit
Description Simplified and vectorized version of the crown included on trump card 2 ("The High Priestess") in the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. This was probably influenced by the ancient Hathor head-dress of circular disk and horns, and in turn influenced the modern Triple Goddess symbol of full moon flanked by two crescents...
Date Original date was 1909 by Pamela Colman Smith (published in 1910); subsequent image manipulation and clean-up in 2009
Source Took Image:Rwt_major_02.png (raw scan of "The High Priestess" Tarot card which is in public domain in the United States in this uncolorized form), did a vector trace of the part of the image containing the crown, and subsequently cleaned up the vector trace (including averaging the left and right halves to impose bilateral symmetry), and also added simple fill gradients to roughly simulate the overall appearance of the colored card (see File:RWS_Tarot_02_High_Priestess.jpg etc.).
Author Original author was Pamela Colman Smith in 1909; subsequent image manipulation and clean-up by User:AnonMoos
