Visual Description

Two cats sit back-to-back atop a rounded red mound: one is a black-and-white tuxedo cat with bright green eyes, the other a pale calico with amber highlights. Behind them rise two tall, ornate wands topped with crescent and orb motifs, and two golden circular disks hover in the patterned sky. The cats' tails curl together into an intertwined, figure-eight curve across the foreground. A stitched patchwork of blue and purple squares fills the background and the Roman numeral II appears at the top of the oval frame.
