The main element in the motif is an appliqued diamond with a central appliqued node; the diamonds are connected by a simple appliqued scroll. On either side of the scroll and appliqued diamonds are semi-circular appliqued fillets, two concentric fillets above the diamonds and scroll line, and single semi-circles below the diamonds and scroll line.
