The image is a square composition with distinct geometric shapes on a plain backdrop. At the center, there is an abstract form resembling a scalloped circle or a rosette with a red and white polka dot pattern, enclosing a smaller white space inscribed with the word "Arabes." Surrounding this central motif are four green, leaf-like shapes that emanate towards the corners of the square, each dotted with a pattern akin to the central form. These elements create a symmetrical and abstract floral design reminiscent of patterns found in decorative arts.
