This print shows a circle inside a square. It’s one of dozens of simple shapes and plants carved into metal. Artists in the 1700s used these exact patterns to decorate tools and weapons. Look closer: the circle isn’t quite round. Its edges wobble like hand-carved wood. That tiny flaw tells us it was made before machines took over. Find more like it at the Museum of Ethnography.
