Merkel-Raute

The Merkel-Raute (German for "Merkel's rhombus") is what has been termed Merkel diamond or "Triangle of Power" by English-speaking media, a hand gesture made by resting one's hands in front of the stomach so that the fingertips meet, with the thumbs and index fingers forming a rough quadrangular shape. This signature gesture of Angela Merkel, the current German Chancellor, has been described as "probably one of the most recognisable hand gestures in the world".
