Inspired by the concept of near-misses (namely near-miss Johnson a.k.a. NMJ solids) we investigate a related family of shapes which we call polyhedral near-miss cages. In this paper we discuss a few possible spherical arrangements of (nearly-)regular hendecagons. We believe that it may be of potential use in biotechnology and design as well as an inspiration for future artwork.
