Two circles turning in steps of 60° with one plunger for intersecting pieces.

Shatkona is a 2D puzzle combining a rotation and a shifting plunger. The puzzle consists of one complete circle with 12 triangular tiles and a plunger which pushes the middle six tiles to the other side and forms another circle of 12 tiles. The circles can rotate in steps 60°.
It's based on Douglas A. Engel puzzle idea “Pentaplentyâ€, and one of Mr. Kairys' puzzles "Quadro 3".
Shatkona (षटà¥à¤•à¥‹à¤£) is a symbol used in Hindu yantra; a "six-pointed star" is made from two interlocking triangles. The upper stands for Shiva, Purusha, the lower for Shakti, Prakriti. Stylistically, it is identical to the Jewish Star of David and the Japanese Kagome crest.
Material: PLA, vinyl, screws.
Size: 95 x 215 mm
