- The {11/4} hendecagram appears upon the cover of Swedish black metal band Dissection's final album, Reinkaos.
[edit] Graph
The regular hendecagon and hendecagrams combine together to represent a complete graph with 11 vertices. This is also the graph of the 10-simplex, in a skew orthogonal projection.
