What is a Möbius strip?

A surface with only one side and one edge, made by giving a strip a half twist and joining the ends. Trace along it and you return to your starting point having traversed what appeared to be both faces.

What image should I use?

Something that reads as a texture or pattern rather than a scene, because the surface curves away and only part is ever visible. Strong color and repeating structure survive the wrap far better than a detailed photograph.
