The background of the octagon composite, with abrash. The borderline between the colour sections is delineated by a band of small squares along the axis; out of the band grow serrated leaves (the tree of life). In the corners of the central field sparse motifs: at the bottom – a star and an octagon, at the top – small squares. In the lower section of the field a stripe set apart, decorated with rectangular stepped motifs.
