content: The faces of this cut and glued tan paper model are twelve iregular pentagons and twenty-four isosceles triangles, arranged so as to form an eight-pointed figure. A mark on the object reads: 8-Pointed (/) Icosahedron (/) No 496 (/) July 6, 1935. Pencil lines on the model mark off small triangles within each pentagon. If these triangles are removed, one obtains a model with eight six-sided pyramids joined togather and several holes.. For an example of this model, see 304723.248.
