The image displays symmetrical shapes and intricate lines to create an abstract design. Dark green leaf-like and red petal shapes are arranged in a cross pattern on a textured background filled with repetitive oval and curved line patterns. The border consists of linear green forms resembling flower stems with small red buds at the ends.
