The tile features a pattern of variously shaped sections, predominantly hexagons, with some triangular and rectangular sections, separated by thin orange lines. The sections contain floral patterns with a central dot and radiating lines, with some sections having flower-like designs with rounded petals. The tile's edges are rough and uneven.
