A pair of mounted archers performing Parthian shots face each other. Below them are two adorsed animals in green, perhaps felines. A symmetrical plant is positioned between the two animals, with yellow tendrils extending at bottom. Red background, thin black border. Bits of plain linen ground visible along edges.
