The image shows a central tapering conical shape with a pattern of small circular dots. Radiating from this structure are lines that curl and end in smaller solid circles and oval forms. The shapes create a stylized botanical motif. Blue is used against a pale background, resulting in a serene visual resembling delicate plant life.
