The octahedron turns to a hexahedron with the help of trumpet arches and then turns into a circle of the cupola with the help of angular rosettes.

While the nose is added as a simple strip of wood, two cylinders protrude about eight centimeters to form the eyes, and one slightly shorter hexahedron forms the mouth.
13.
The artwork consists of four vertical structures incorporating the five platonic forms icosahedron, octahedron, star tetrahedron, hexahedron and dodecahedron and painted with Rennie s traditional pattern.
14.
The intersection of the three octahedra is a convex polyhedron with 14 vertices and 24 faces, a tetrakis hexahedron, formed by attaching a low square pyramid to each face of the central cube.
15.
A 24-cell viewed under a vertex-first perspective projection has a surface topology of a tetrakis hexahedron and the geometric proportions of the rhombic dodecahedron, with the rhombic faces divided into two triangles.
16.
The tetrakis hexahedron is the Kleetope of the cube, formed by adding a square pyramid to each of its faces, and the pentakis dodecahedron is the Kleetope of the dodecahedron, formed by adding a pentagonal pyramid to each face of the dodecahedron.
17.
:: : : If I think about my example then a possible extension for a tesseract could be a 3D-image of a hexahedron that oscillates between a cube and box with a square interface progressing from the one end of the rectangle to the other.
18.
The solid with the lowest number of sides is the tetrahedron ( four equilateral triangles ); progressing through the hexahedron or cube, the octahedron, the dodecahedron and the icosahedron ( 20 sides ), the sphere can be considered to have an infinite number of sides.
19.
A fourth isohedral deltahedron with the same face planes, also a stellation of the compound of three octahedra, has the same combinatorial structure as the tetrakis hexahedron but with the cube faces dented inwards into intersecting pyramids rather than attaching the pyramids to the exterior of the cube.
20.
A different form of the tetrakis hexahedron, formed by using taller pyramids on each face of the cube, is non-convex but has equilateral triangle faces that again lie on the same planes as the faces of the three octahedra; it is another of the known isohedral deltahedra.
