The image shows an arrangement of shapes including a symmetrical cross-like figure at the top with flame-like extensions. Below is a circular form decorated with a pattern of geometric shapes resembling flower petals. Next to the cross are fan-shaped designs on either side. The elements evoke religious symbols and floral motifs in an intricate composition. The earthy tones of gold, red, and teal add to the design's aesthetic.
