The image displays two rectangular designs with grids of squares forming abstract patterns. In the upper section, there is a checkerboard-like arrangement of cream and dark blue squares creating a cross shape intersected by a circle. The lower section shows an inverted color contrast with dark blue dominating the background and cream forming the cross and border elements, also intersected by a central circle. The pattern resembles a woven textile or mosaic.
