Metatron's cube and the Catalan polyhedra
Metatron’s Cube is a complex structure of Sacred Geometry, derived from the structure of the Flower of Life. It is named after Archangel Metatron. The Metatron symbol appears in Jewish, Islamic and Christian tradition. This symbol is considered responsible for all creation and is considered an Archangel as well as a judge.
This work shows Archimedean polyhedra inscribed or circumscribed in the symbol of Metatron’s cube, with views that can be accessed with Augmented Reality resources and also in immersive Virtual Reality rooms.

3D models
1. Deltoidal hexecontahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A deltoidal hexecontahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
2. Deltoidal icositetrahedron
Metatron’s Cube is considered a geometric variation of the Fruit of Life symbol, which is in turn derived from the Flower of Life symbol. A deltoidal icositetrahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
3. Disdyakis dodecahedron
Metatron’s Cube is a powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry, as this symbol is believed to contain all the patterns of creation. A disdyakis dodecahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
4. Disdyakis triacontahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A disdyakis triacontahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
5. Pentagonal icositetrahedron
Metatron’s Cube is considered a geometric variation of the Fruit of Life symbol, which is in turn derived from the Flower of Life symbol. A pentagonal icositetrahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
6. Rhombic dodecahedron
Metatron’s Cube is a powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry, as this symbol is believed to contain all the patterns of creation. A rhombic dodecahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
7. Tetrakis hexahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A tetrakis hexahedron can be circumscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
8. Triakis octahedron
Metatron’s Cube is considered a geometric variation of the Fruit of Life symbol, which is in turn derived from the Flower of Life symbol. A triakis octahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
9. Triakis tetrahedron
Metatron’s Cube is a powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry, as this symbol is believed to contain all the patterns of creation. A triakis tetrahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
10. Triakis stellated tetrahedron
Metatron’s Cube is the name given to a complex two-dimensional geometric figure made of 13 circles of equal size, with lines extending from the center of each circle to the center of all twelve other circles. A triakis stellated tetrahedron can be inscribed in Metatron’s cube symbol.
