Object Details
- Wheeler, Albert Harry
- Description
- This plastic model of a dissected cube is stored in a transparent green plastic box. It holds eight eight-sided pieces that surround a yellow stellated rhombic dodecahedron. These pieces each have three square faces colored white (which show as the outside of the cube) and six interior triangular turquoise faces. The outer pieces can be rearranged to form a second, turquoise rhombic dodecahedron.
- This is Wheeler's model 782. Compare MA.304723.315, which is the same model in paper.
