Description

A hand emerges from clouds, palm up and with a flowering and leafy wand held in the palm. The upper part of the wand includes a stylized golden sun with a red crystal at its center. A rainbow arc and flash of light radiate outward from the sun image. 

Beneath the hand and wand is an open plain with a curving river and trees in full foliage growing along the riversides. A mountain range is visible in the distance. The sky is partly cloudy, with a golden sunrise lighting the clouds.
