Both balloons have a recessed line on the right side to give the appearance that they are round and reflecting light. In between the 2 balloons are 2 curves connected to a circle 2.5cm in diameter. This relief design is the decorations on the woman's hat. On each side of the recessed area where her face should be is a relief section of hair. Below her face is a relief semi-circle with recessed designs of parts of the fair design. The bottom right corner is almost completely recessed. In the left corner is part of the ride where 2 cars are swung upside down. To the right is the 10.5cm tall support beam with 8 recessed circles around it, which are the cars that swing around the beam.
