The back is dark green with four low square plates, the flank is lighter green and the belly pale yellow; the tail tapers straight out behind. Two short legs with three-toed feet are shown. Dark brown outline. A wide motif for a towel band, a pencil case or a card. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 19 stitches and uses five thread colors.
