A flat, circular disk of woven linen and cork features a tightly spiraled pattern of dyed fibers. From a dense black center, concentric bands of deep blue, bright green, and vibrant yellow radiate outward, creating a fine, ribbed texture. A small, circular opening sits at the very core of the coil. A flat white band encircles the outer edge, containing the vibrant, densely wrapped strands.
