Visual Description
On a pale pink field seven staves cross and intertwine in a symmetrical, X-like formation, each tipped with a stylized eye motif that radiates lines like rays. A crescent moon appears near the center and another crescent hangs lower, surrounded by small decorative dots and a tiny star beneath. The composition is highly decorative and geometric, with the wands forming layered diagonals and looping curves against a bordered card. There are no human figures; the image focuses on the dynamic arrangement of the staffs and celestial symbols.
