Large roundels with pearl borders enclose eight palmette trees radiating from a central abstract floral motif. The large roundels are linked to each other along their vertical and horizontal axes by small roundels, also having pearl borders, that enclose a square and four crescents. Between these links, the large roundels are interrupted by small roundels enclosing single recumbent ibexes. The pattern, which is completely reversible, appears in tan on a dark blue background, or vice versa.
