content: Handkerchief in red and black showing the Swiss female national figure of Helvetia in the center. She holds a spear and a shield emblazoned with the Swiss flag and stands in a bucolic landscape of mountains and chalet-like buildings. A wreath of leaves, acorns and berries surrounds her. In an outer ring are badges bearing cantons of Switzerland with their names in French and German. In the four corners are badges for Lucerne, Valais, St. Gall and Fribourg.
