content: This cut and folded tan paper model has at the top three double points. Each of these points adjoins two trapezoids and an irregular nonagon (both of each pair of points are in the nonagon). Next are six shorter points, each with two triangles and a parallelogram around it. Both of these two triangles are in the same plane of one of the trapezoids, either from the top or from the bottom. Below this are another three double points each adjoining two trapezoids and a nonagon.
