Icosahedral symetry group has 60 elements - rotations about axes of 2, 3 and 5 order.
It has subgroup of index 5 - groups of rotational symmetries of tetrahedron with 12 elements - rotations about axes of 2 and 3
order.
The sculpture represents relations between such group, its subgroup and its cosets as a combination of 5 identical
interpenetrating tetrahedra forming compound with icosahedral symmetry. |
