See the full Thistlethwaite Link Table (up to 11 crossings).

L4a1 is Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 4^2_1} in the Rolfsen table of links. It frequently occurs in late Roman mosaics and some medieval decorations. In this context, it is called the "Solomon's knot" (sigillum Salomonis) or "guilloche knot". It is also the "Kramo-bone" symbol (meaning "one being bad makes all appear to be bad") of the Adinkra symbol system. Link L10a101 contains multiple L4a1 configurations.
