Stella Octangula Music Band

There's a band called Stella Octangula which uses on it's website many interesting three-dimensional Star of David images. They started playing in late 2006 and named  their band after Kepler's famous Stella Octangula, eight pointed 3D star.

Impossible Star of David-2

Impossible Hexagram

Photo is courtesy of Dan Feldman who wrote to me that the impossible triangle and the impossible Star of David interested his son Ariel of Blessed Memory.

He built a 3 dimensional model which could be seen from a certain angle as an impossible Star of David, made from two impossible triangles cut in the middle of the flanks. In addition, you can see the Star of David shape in the center of the structure.

Plastic Cube

Plastic Cube Star of David

Photo of Plastic Cube with Star of David is courtesy of Dan Feldman who wrote to me that it was a present they gave to their son Ariel of Blessed Memory for his 21st birthday, which occurred a week before his passing. In the cube there are triangles and pyramids, which create big and small Stars of David. The quality of the photo is low, but enough to illustrate the object.

Austrian Postage Stamp With a Typo

Star of David Austrian Postage Stamp

The Star of David that Herzl suggested as an emblem for the Zionist Movement appears on an Austrian postage stamp issued in 1985 to mark Herzl's 125 years birthday. The Hebrew caption is written wrongly, and this is the first time I see a typo on a postage stamp. Courtesy of Ronik from Israeli Collect Forum.
