The image depicts geometric shapes and symmetrical lines creating an abstract pattern. At the top, there is a cross shape with flame-like extensions. Below the cross, a bow-tie shape with teardrop-like elements extending outward. Further down, a circle filled with a mandala-like design featuring triangles and floral motifs. The overall design suggests a crest and ceremonial emblem.
