The image displays rectangular and circular shapes, with a central square surrounded by small rounded blobs. The design combines primitive symbols and celestial objects. Swirling forms and circular motifs within the central square suggest a night sky with clouds and planets. Along the edges, there are eye-like and wave-like shapes. The background texture resembles a rough surface, like stone or an ancient relic.
