Geometric Model by A. Harry Wheeler, Pentagonal Trapezoidal Dodecahedron
name: label: maker
content: Wheeler, Albert Harry
notes: label: Description
content: On this tan cut and folded paper model, a small star pyramid has a pentagram as base. Edges of the pentagram also are sides of surrounding irregular pentagons – five of these pentagons are in the same plane as the top pentagram. The model then has two rings of ten trapezoids each, five more coplanar irregular pentagons around a pentagram, and another small star pyramid extending outward from this second pentagram. A paper tag reads: DT 5. A faint mark on the bottom reads: No 291 (/) DT 5.
