The Droste Effect

You've probably seen this before. An image contains itself, so that there’s a recursive chain of progressively smaller versions of the image until it’s vanishingly small. But maybe you didn't know that It’s called the Droste Effect, after the product depicted below.


It can also be found in the coat of arms of the Russian Federation above. Note that the eagle is carrying a scepter with itself on top.
