- Wheeler, Albert Harry
- Description
- This stellation of an icosahedron has twelve spikes, each with five sides. The paper model is cut and folded. Two paper tags give Wheeler’s number for the model, 368. A pencil mark reads: April (/) 8 (/) 1919. Another pencil mark reads: 366’8 (/) (368). Wheeler listed this model among his icosahedra as I5. Wenninger refers to it as the ninth stellation of the icosahedron.
