A white broad line makes a rectangular frame above, on the right, and underneath at least part of the central design. The frame is not outlined. The central design has two opposed black fringed triangle with a diagonal line separating them. It has thin framing lines on the right and left. One of these attaches to a broad white vertical line that appears to attach to the upper framing line, but not the lower.
