The JPEG in the lower half of this picture is an 11"x17" (A3) sized print-out so you or your kids or art/geometry students can color and assemble this piece themselves. Nota bene: If you resize the image, be absolutely sure that you are not changing the proportion of height-to-width, or the project will be hopelessly lopsided and won't work. It'd look more like the warped reality of a drinking binge at Savador Dali's house.l

It's a dodecahedron, which is a platonic solid made of 12 pentagons. Each pentagon contains a clown.

This is a tessellation, too: the clowns fit together without gaps or overlaps.

Warning: young kids have been known to laugh at the "nut punch" pose of the clowns' fists.
