32 Pomona

This minor planet is named after the Roman goddess of orchard fruit. She oversees the flourishing of all fruits that grow on trees. Seems like kind of a nice cushy job, as far as domains of divinity go. Not as vast as the ocean or as complicated as love, but certainly not unimportant.

The symbol of this asteroid is a simple fruit, represented by a small circle with a stem, upon a platter.
