Lute of Pythagoras

Lute of Pythagoras

The lute of Pythagoras is a geometric form made of pentagons with inscribed pentagrams where the sides of the pentagrams are the sides of the smaller pentagons. The form is a fractal, like the Koch snowflake where an infinite progression of forms fits into a finite space.
