Here once again is a stellar dodecahedron, encased in twelve flat, five-pointed stars. On each of these platforms lives a tailless monster with a long neck and four legs. He sits there with his lump caught beneath a flat-side pyramid, each wall of which has an opening, and through this opening the creature sticks his head and legs. But the pointed extremity of one animal's dwelling platform is at the same time the wall of one of his fellow-sufferer's prisons. All these triangular protrusions function both as floors and as walls; so it comes about that this print, the last in the series of polyhedrons, serves also as a transition to the relativity group.

Reprinted from the text of M.C. Escher - The Graphic Work; with the kind permission of Benedikt-Taschen Publishers
