The image shows a circular arrangement of abstract shapes. There are three types of shapes: a central form resembling a basket or crown, and eight surrounding forms that mimic leaves or floral motifs. The central shape is deep red and encloses the letters "A.E.C." The surrounding designs are a mix of red and patterned brown shapes, resembling foliage or petals, giving the appearance of a wreath made of stylized, abstract flowers or leaves.
