Octaedron planum solidum and Octaedron elevatum solidum as figured in Luca Pacioli’s De Divina Proportione (1509).
Featured on PDR in the essay The Polyhedral Perspective

Noam Andrews discovers how polyhedra descended from mathematical treatises to artists’ studios, distilling abstract ideas into objects one could see and touch.
