Two formal vases form the foundation from which the pomegranate motifs spring. The fruit of the pomegranate trees are the most prominent feature, with everything else serving as a supporting element. The pomegranates are stylized to represent both mature and developing fruit, which brings to mind a connection of the present to the future and the abundance that the future will bring.

It lends itself well to both traditional and modern or contemporary designs.
