notes: label: Description
content: This cut, folded and glued tan paper model has six irregular tetrahedra joined in a circle. Two edges of each adjacent tetrahedron are common, so that the model could also be considered three octahedra. Three remaining meeting edges overlap only about 1/3 or the way. The faces are numbered from 1 to 18 going around the outside and from 19 to 24 on the inside. A date written in pencil on the model reads: Aug 27 1936.
