Hello.

This nebula is used as a print in one specific carpet, but I can't recognise the nebula. What in the world is it?? I tried to identify it with astrometry.net upload tool but got only a dead end. Any suggestions?

I don't think it is an existed nebula (or at least not a popular nabula).  From my opinion, it looks like the combination of NGC7380 and NGC3576

Could've been AI generated. There are AI apps that have trained off astrophotographs to generate random nebulae.

Yeah I thought so. Thanks for replies, eased a bit my fixation for this silly brain-teaser.

The Nebula ist NGC 3372, the Great Carina Nebula, but not a very good shot.
