Features a concentric diamond design in varying shades of indigo blue and tonalities of white. Various geometric shapes and symbols, signifying birds, trees, and other protection symbols fill in the space of the field. The main border is composed of geometric shapes and figures - notice the abstracted bird shape resembling a peacock. The minor borders are both made up of the same floral meander.
