The Star of David is in the same family as the Diagonal Burr and its many variations made by Stewart. It uses six dissimilar and non-symmetrical pieces. This unusual puzzle assembles into three different geometrical shapes having an axis of symmetry, as well as other shapes having no apparent symmetry. A difficult puzzle. The 3rd and 4th photographs show the Star of David in one of its alternate symmetrical assemblies. Stewart made 50 from 1981 to 1983 and 10 of a simpler version in 1990. Numbers 37 and 37A in his numbering system.
