content: This cut and glued tan paper model is in the shape of a triangular pyramid. However, there are three-sided indentations along each of the three side edges, with two triangles along the sides and a quadrilateral at the top of each indentation. These quadrilaterals form the base of an irregular hexagon whose remaining sides are in the planes of the large triangles (the hexagon is presently detached from the rest of the model). The bottom of the model is not flat, but rather a lower triangular pyramid with the same base. The sides of this pyramid contain the triangular sides of the indentations. A mark reads: 651.
