Triangles decorated with a similar wavy line pattern as the inner oval extend from the outer oval into the corners of the inked rectangle.

A small triangle extends from the top, bottom, right and left of the outer oval and between the corner triangles. This entire image in contained within a thin blue line that creates the rectangle.
