7₄ knot


In mathematical knot theory, 74 is the name of a 7-crossing knot which can be visually depicted in a highly-symmetric form, and so appears in the symbolism and/or artistic ornamentation of various cultures.

Visual representations

The interlaced version of the simplest form of the Endless knot symbol of Buddhism is topologically equivalent to the 74 knot, as is the interlaced version of the unicursal hexagram of occultism.
