The image contains a cross-like shape at the top with jagged edges and small, flame-like extensions. Below the cross, there is a symmetrical bow-like form extending into circular shapes resembling wings, with another concentric circular design filled with radial patterns resembling a medallion or mandala. The composition evokes familiar objects such as a decorative emblem or a stylized religious symbol.
