The infinity loop
kilakan:
ok so my blacksmith decides o become possessed and what does he grab admantite. of course he goes for the rarest metal for something that can't be weapon or armor due to him only having metal working. What he made was a animal trap.... a freaking animal trap but heres the kicker it has an image of itself on it. Which means the image of it has an image of it that has an image of it and so on for infinity. I hate when DF gets into an infinite loop.....
Shrike:
It'd be a nested loop, really.
But easier to implement recursively.

Nah, if it's an abstracted or stylized image of itself, or just depict another side than the one with the image of itself, you could avoid that.
Time Kitten:
could even just be labled with it's own name.
Skorpion:
I like to think it's intricately carved with recursive images of itself, right down to the microscopic level.
All done with a fingernail and good old-fashioned dwarven spit, which is strong enough to etch adamantine due to the booze.
