This is an image of a circular object that appears to be a type of optical illusion or animation device known as a phenakistoscope. It consists of a disk with multiple equidistant radial slits cut from the edge to the center, and a series of sequential images that are arranged radially around the disk. The images depicted are black and white, showing a repetitive sequence of a man appearing to tip his hat. The images have an overlay of bright purple spots, which may serve as reference points for the animation. The center of the disk contains text with instructions, which are somewhat obscured, but parts of it are legible and it appears to read, "SPIN COUNTER-CLOCKWISE - OBSERVE IN MIRROR - KEEP THROWING," which suggests how the device should be used, implying that when spun in the correct way and viewed in a mirror, the slits will create the illusion of the images moving, showing the man tipping his hat in succession. The year 1989, along with the text "The Letter Edged in Black Press Inc.," indicates the copyright holder and likely the manufacturer or distributor of this device. The general state of the object is good, and the image is taken against a neutral gray background that contrasts with the disk and the bright purple spots.
