notes: label: Description
content: This metal and string model has a black wooden base. There are eight steel supports around the edges and another one up the middle. These supports hold eight horizontal metal sheets. The top two and the bottom two sheets have four edges that are curved, while the middle four sheets are are octahedra. Gold-colored threads join some of the sheets. The sheets are painted blue, pink, tan and green. The circle painted on the base is divided into sections of different color. According to the accession memo, this is a Klein-Riemann surface, representing an inverse transformation of a function on the u, v plane.
