There are two large birds linked by a 'pathway'(?) in gold and white, the upper bird is flying up to the sun. The lower bird is sitting and is wounded on the breast with blood flowing down. This is perhaps a reference to the medieval myth of the pelican feeding her own blood to her young which is also a symbol of the passion of Christ.

In the lower right corner is a shield shape with '1988' and 'Alfred' written in ink. All designs are machine appliqued.
