The image displays intricate formations of intersecting lines creating symmetrical patterns resembling ornamental crosses with geometric and floral motifs. The designs crown stylized arrangements with pointed sections at the top. Surrounding this are flowing lines with pointed ends resembling foliate designs or star-sprouting branches. Two winged creatures, fanciful hybrids between birds and dragons, are depicted below and to the sides.
