Magnum Chaos[1] (c. 1524) is one of the intarsia of the choir of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. These were designed by Lorenzo Lotto and cut by Giovan Francesco Capoferri.
It depicts a sun with in its center an eye which has no body but two arms and hands and two legs and feet.
The illustration (right) is depicted inverted, the original design is upside down[2] to denote the falling through chaos, which happens in all directions, not just down.
