Tetrakis hexahedron

A tetrakis hexahedron is a Catalan solid which looks a bit like an overinflated cube. It is also known as a tetrahexahedron. Tetrakis hexahedra are irregular, but the faces are all the same shape. In other words, the irregularity stems from the fact that the faces are not regular polygons.
