content: Underlying this model is a green transparent plastic model of what Wenninger calls the seventh stellation of the icosahedron, with sixty triangular sides and twenty points. Three small paper irregular tetrahedral are attached around each point, with one face of each tetrahedron attached to an underlying plastic triangle. A paper tag reads: 392. Another mark reads: Aug. 26 (/) 1932.

content: Compare MA.304723.216 and MA.304723.215. The selection of the triangles to which tetrahedra are attached appears to be slightly different in the two models.
