notes: label: Description
content: In this cut and folded tan paper model, twelve low pentagonal pyramids and twenty smal triangular pyramids cover the faces of an underlying icosidodecahedron. This leads Wenninger to call the surfac a stellation of the icosidodecahedron. The surface may be considered as the intersection of a regular pyramid and a regular dodecahedron.
