label: Description
content: A paisley motif, also referred to as a Persian cone, is formed by multiple flowers and green leaves grouped closely together. Although the flowers are mostly red with yellow centers, some are blue (also with yellow centers). A floral framing motif is at the bottom, and a garland is positioned beside the motif on the upper right. Red vertical stripes, with what appears to be parts of flower blossoms and leaves between them, appear to the right of the garland.
