The central design of this field is organized in five
vertical columns and two half columns. The very
sophisticated arrangement of the triangle and diamonds
filling these columns also creates a diagonal pattern
across the columns. Alternating the light triangles
between camel and ivory provides a further elaboration
in the pattern. There are only three colors; light
and dark red, light and dark blue, and light and
dark natural.
