I'll guess a overall spherical patterned pigment (or texture) map using
triangle pattern for outermost part and just clear to opaque central part,
with radial pattern for the spokes and dots.  But then I have no idea how
you actually got the spokes and dots made.
It's a bit much for my feeble mind.
It's good I assure you but nothing like those supposedly mathematically made
(?!) curves and shapes in such a rendition of a Escher drawing as what
Wlodzimierz has shown.
