An ambigram is a calligraphic design that has several interpretations as written.
Ambiguous images, of which ambigrams are a part, cause ambiguity in different ways. For example by rotational symmetry, as in the Illusion of The Cook by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1570); sometimes by a figure-ground ambivalence as in Rubin vase; by perceptual shift as in the rabbit–duck illusion, or through pareidolias; or again, by the representation of impossible objects, such as Necker cube or Penrose triangle. For all these types of images, certain ambigrams exist, and can be combined with visuals of the same type.
