Visual Description

Three swords with golden hilts are arranged against a neutral gray field: one upright at the top and two crossing below to form a triangular composition. In the center is a framed vignette showing an older man in a green tunic and a simple metal cap pressing his hands to a heavy wooden door as he peers through a gap; iron studs and a keyhole are visible. A narrow white strip along the left edge bears multilingual labels and the numeral 3.
