Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron, adding pyramids to the 20 hexagonal faces, creating 120 new triangular faces. It is visually similar to the chiral snub dodecahedron which has 80 triangles and 12 pentagons. The dual polyhedron can be seen as a "hexatruncated pentakis dodecahedron", a dodecahedron with its faced augmented by pentagonal pyramids (a pentakis dodecahedron), and then its 6-valance vertices truncated. It has similar groups of irregular pentagons as the pentagonal hexecontahedron. Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron The hexapentakis truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron. It is geodesic polyhedron {3,5+}, with pentavalent vertices separated
Regular dodecahedron dodecahedra were made and have been found in various Roman ruins in Europe. Their purpose is not certain. In 20th-century art, dodecahedra appear in the work of M. C. Escher, such as his lithographs "Reptiles" (1943) and "Gravitation" (1952). In Salvador Dalí's painting "The Sacrament of the Last Supper" (1955), the room is a hollow regular dodecahedron. Gerard Caris based his entire artistic oeuvre on the regular dodecahedron and the pentagon, which is presented as a new art movement coined as Pentagonism. In modern role-playing games, the regular dodecahedron is often used as a twelve-sided die, one of the more
