notes: label: Description
content: This cut, folded, and glued tan paper model appears to be incomplete. The framework of the model includes three irregular heptagons arranged in a ring, with three triangles below each heptagon. There also is space to attach two small tetrahedra above each joining point of the heptagons (turning them into faces with eleven short edges). However, only two tetrahedra are attached and it is unclear that more would fit.
