In geometry, the cubohemioctahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U15. It has 10 faces (6 squares and 4 regular hexagons), 24 edges and 12 vertices.[1] Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral.
It is given Wythoff symbol 4⁄3 4 | 3, although that is a double-covering of this figure.
A nonconvex polyhedron has intersecting faces which do not represent new edges or faces. In the picture vertices are marked by golden spheres, and edges by silver cylinders.
It is a hemipolyhedron with 4 hexagonal faces passing through the model center. The hexagons intersect each other and so only triangular portions of each are visible.
