Polyhedron

Irregular and Self-Intersecting Forms
While convex polyhedra are topologically equivalent to a sphere, the study of non-convex figures yields complex structures. Star polyhedra, such as the small stellated dodecahedron, are formed by extending the faces of a convex core polyhedron until they intersect themselves.
