Mirror with Concentric Circles and Linked Arcs

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Mirror with Concentric Circles and Linked Arcs by M.C. Escher features a circular design. The object is round and flat with a raised circular pattern. There are multiple concentric circles, with the outermost circle having a serrated edge. The second circle from the outside features symbols that resemble Tibetan or Sanskrit characters. Inside this circle, there are six linked arcs that form a hexagonal pattern. At the center of the design, a raised circular shape protrudes slightly. The entire object appears to be made of a dark-colored metal with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is light gray.
