In the top right is a scene of two individuals, one sitting in a blue skirt and a pink hat and one standing with a pink skirt and a gold hat holding large stick, in front of a steep hill with a palm tree and next to two peacocks, a coastal scene and a curved plant acting as a border for the map title at the top.
