There are two motifs which alternate along the border: (1) a circular motif with a green blossom at its centre surrounded by eight curved leaves, white with a black spot alternating with brown; these are surrounded by small inward-facing U-shaped motifs in light blue or white and finally at each 'corner' is a brown and light blue curved serrated leaf. (2) Two curved, joined green stems each bearing brown or white flowerheads [these are outlined in black with a black centre]; there are small leaves in green, white and light blue. The direction of this motif alternates: outward facing and inward facing. |
