Middle column is decorated in the center with a black 'X' intersecting a diamond with a flower on the outside of each of its corners; this central element is surrounded by foliage on both sides. Right column is decorated with an alternating pattern of a 4-petaled flower with white dotted leaves and a black interlace motif.
