OUROBOROS center frame: Leopard chasing panther in perfect circle - leopard leaping forward, jaws reaching toward panther's tail; panther mid leap fleeing, jaws reaching toward leopard's tail - both frozen mid motion forming continuous unbroken circle. Golden leopard rosettes and solid black panther fur alternating, perfectly symmetrical, hovering at chest height above desert ground.
