I had never heard of such a thing. Interesting. Another interesting 
experiment would be to go the other way ... to get as close to round as 
possible with a limited number of exactly equilateral triangles.

As far as your image itself, I find the most interesting image of this 
type to be the one which demonstrates complete understanding of the 
shape. By that, I mean an image which is colored or carved in such a way 
which demonstrates the craftsman's understanding of the nature of the 
shape ( opposite faces, interesting symmetries, etc. ).

I have used similar shapes before, as we have discussed. I use these 
shapes mostly as a mechanism for iteration of smaller sub-shapes. A 
fourth dimension. That's another way to go.
