Decorated Truncated Dodecahedron

Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint were used to make the “Metapentagon” design shown in post before the last post. After that, I used Stella 4d (see http://www.software3d.com/stella.php) to project this image onto each face of a truncated dodecahedron, and create this rotating .gif file.
