Three oval shapes are arranged within a rectangular border that is centrally placed on the page. Each oval contains an abstract design resembling the letter "H," with curved and flowing lines. The repetition and symmetry of the shapes might remind viewers of cameo brooches or medallions. Each design suggests a connection to monogram motifs.
