In the foreground are red diamonds made up of stylized foliage and scrolls. Linking the four points of the diamond are gold semi-circles of stylized leaves. Between these floral medallion motifs are small, stylized flowers with four petals. In the background are concentric circles delineated by gold dots. The concentric circles connect the bigger floral motifs to the smaller floral motifs. Printed in shades of red and metallic gold on a light tan textured ground.
