An illustrated side panel is found to the left and right of the tablet section. Each panel is topped by a 90 degree inward bent thistle. Down the length of each panel are cascading abstract designs of rounded undulating shapes. At three similar points within each column are shapes that look like a multilevel DQ ice cream.
