Summary[edit]
| Description | 6-loop Brunnian link — no two loops are directly linked, but all six are collectively linked, and cutting any loop frees all the other loops. |

The abstract pattern of crossings derives from an illustration in Hermann Brunn's 1892 article "Über Verkettung", by way of Dale Rolfsen's 1976 book Knots and Links (p. 67). The specific visual appearance of this image is quite different from those illustrations... Converted from the following vector PostScript source code: %!
