Object Details
- Wheeler, Albert Harry
- Description
- A stellation of a regular polyhedron is a polyhedron with faces formed by extending the sides of the faces of the regular polyhedron. One may understand this tan paper model as showing parts of twenty three-pointed stars, erected on the twenty triangular faces of a regular icosahedron. Only six of the nine triangular faces of each star appear, making for a model with 120 triangular faces and twelve points.
- A mark on the model reads: 367. A second mark reads: 5-30-25-x. A third mark reads: 10 10' 10 [/] (10 11).
