notes: label: Description
content: This plastic model consists of five square pyramids with turquoise triangular sides and white square sides. Combined with an additional pyramid and the cube of model 1979.0102.133, it would comprise a rhombic dodecahedron that could be transformed into two cubes. This is Wheeler's model 784. See MA*304723.328 for a paper version of this model. Also compare Wheeler's model 769 (MA.304723.292, MA.302723.301 and MA.304723.311).
