Design of the 1971 Flower Carpet

The Flower Carpet is celebrating its 50th anniversary and 22nd edition this year. The design used for this edition is therefore a reference to the first design from 1971. All the elements of this first design are present in the 2022 carpet, including the Saint Michael archangel and the Belgian lion.
