In the center, a large light-colored animal with a long tail and two horns faces left, standing on a wave-like pattern. The animal appears to be a leopard. Below the animal, a wavy line separates it from a section with diagonal black and white stripes forming a chevron pattern. The overall design includes intricate details and patterns throughout.
