The central design consists of four sections, each containing Arabic script in black ink on tan-colored cloud-like shapes. The sections are arranged in a zigzag pattern. The top and bottom sections have blue backgrounds with a floral pattern in gold, red, and white. The artwork is surrounded by a decorative border featuring a blue background with gold floral patterns.
