The Artefacts of Pentegraph

The Artefacts of Pentegraph are the fundamental geometric forms that create the basic elements that are practiced within Pentegraph. They are the modules which result from the patterns formed by paths resulting from the joining of circles upon a sphere. These are then used as guides for the movement of parts of the body.
