If we assume it's a tent top, the alternating colours do indeed become a non-issue.
In that case though, the next question would be: what to do with the bulbs underneath? I see three broad options:
1) This depicts a real physical object, i.e. a kind of tent top with a roundish bunch of bulbs or scales underneath.
2) It's partially symbolical. For example, the objects are real but they don't really appear in such a composition.
3) It's a purely symbolical representation.
It's possible to come up with several plausible interpretations for the tent top in all scenarios, but I honestly have no idea what to do with the scales. Personally I'd lean towards a symbolical interpretation as clouds, since they do appear to be the source of the water. But that would almost certainly impose a symbolical interpretation upon the canopy as well...
