Design for a rectangular, geometric pattern. The outline of the pattern is determined by a rectangular frame. Inside the frame there are to polygonal figures, made up out of thin straps. Each figure forms two rectangles which are jointed in the middle through an X-shaped connection. Towards the center, where they face each other, the two polygonal figures are characterized by a concave side. Together they form a round compartment in which a clean ring, also made up out of a thin strap, has been placed. A circular knot is to be inserted in its center.
