The dodecahedron can be transformed by a truncation sequence into its dual, the icosahedron:
| {5,3} | t0,1{5,3} | t1{5,3} | t0,1{3,5} | {3,5} | t0,2{5,3} | t0,1,2{5,3} | s{5,3} |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The regular dodecahedron is a member of a sequence of otherwise non-uniform polyhedra and tilings, composed of pentagons with face configurations (V3.3.3.3.n). (For n > 6, the sequence consists of tilings of the hyperbolic plane.) These face-transitive figures have (n32) rotational symmetry.

“One does not realize the historical sensation as a re-experiencing, but as an understanding that is closely related to the understanding of music, or rather of the world by means of music.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
