The border contains a floral meander with a red stem which runs through a red pomegranat and which bears green leaves, blue tulips and a red, blue and yellow flower. The field is decorated with a series of undulating parallel stems in which are incorporated pointed medallions edged with small serated red leaves and which contain a spray of blue hyacinth blossoms.
