In this virtual model, opposite planes have the same color. The beveling of the edges, this coloring method, plus the invisibility of certain parts, make the faces appear to be extensions of triangles, or triads of “v” shapes. Without this beveling effect on this coloring-method, however, it is easy to see that the true faces of this polyhedron are star pentagons. To see this second model enlarged — with this polyhedron’s traditional coloring — simply click on it.
