Archimedes' Solids (see also Platonic Solids)

The Archimedean solids are a collection of 13 polyhedra that are somewhat less symmetrical than platonic solids.  They have identical vertices and edges, and their faces are regular polygons but not identical. As seen in the table before, Archimedes solids have two or three different types of regular polygons as faces.  More details.
