name: label: maker
content: Wheeler, Albert Harry
notes: label: Description
content: This cut and folded tan paper model has twelve symmetrically arranged five-sided spikes (as in the ninth stellation of the icosahedron - see MA.304723.204), radiating from dimples in the deltahedron (the third stellation of the icosahedron - for an example see 1979.0102.308). Wenninger calls it the sixth stellation of the icosahedron. A paper tag on the model reads: 388. Another paper tag reads: 388 (/) Ic. A mark reads: 899' 12 (/) (8912.
