- White stencil-like forms appear against a red circular background mounted in the center of the board. A white circus seal is positioned upright, with front flippers on top of a platform with a triangular pattern. The seal’s face is facing right and in profile, with a striped ball balanced on top of its nose and a bow tied around its neck. The edge of the circle is lined with small white rectangles of varying widths.
