Abstract
Polyhedral cages are assemblies of regular or nearly regular polygons, sharing some of their edges, but otherwise separated by holes. After describing them, we present a number of symmetric examples to illustrate how aesthetic many of them are, suggesting potential applications in arts, craft works or architecture.
