A Polyhedron Made of Kites and Rhombi

A Polyhedron Made of Kites and Rhombi

In this polyhedron, the twelve rhombic faces are in the same position as the faces of a rhombic dodecahedron — but narrowed, so as to make room for the kites. As for the kites, there are 24 of them — in eight sets of three. These set-of-threes’ positions correspond to those of the faces of an octahedron.
