The image shows abstract shapes with curved lines and symmetrical patterns. There is a cross-like shape with pointed edges and detailed decoration at the top. Below it, two symmetrical wing-like forms extend outward. In the center, there is a circular shape filled with a geometric pattern resembling a mandala, with triangles and concentric circles in earth tones. The composition has an ornamental quality that blends religious iconography with artistic mandalas.
