Decorative Solomon's knot.

Solomon's knot (Latin: sigillum Salomonis, lit.'Solomon's seal') is a traditional decorative motif used since ancient times, and found in many cultures. Despite the name, it is classified as a link, and is not a true knot according to the definitions of mathematical knot theory.
