THE MERKABA
The Merkaba is an eight pointed star tetrahedron. The Merkaba Star Tetrahedron is actually two tetrahedrons interlocked to form a three-dimensional Star of David. When it is closely observed, two pyramids (tetrahedrons) can be seen. Symbolically, the Merkaba represents a synthesis of opposites.
The back cube and star are connected.
