content: A stellation of a regular polyhedron is a polyhedron with faces formed by extending the sides of the faces of the regular polyhedron. One may understand this mottled gray and tan paper model, as showing parts of twenty three-pointed stars, erected on the twenty triangular faces of a regular icosahedron. Only six of the nine triangular faces of each star appear, making for a model with 120 triangular faces.
