content: This tan paper model is a dissection of a cube into ten pieces. The pieces are hinged in groups of five ( two rectangualr pyramids, a square pyramid and two more rectangular pyramids), bissecting the cube. These pieces can be rearranged to form a rhombic dodecahedron missing a cube at the center. The missing cube is MA.304723.309. The model fits in a folded paper box in the shape of a cube.
