The Cuboctahedron
A semi-regular polyhedron with two squares and two triangles alternating around each vertex.
The cuboctahedron is one of the thirteen archimedian solids. It can be created by slicing suitable sections off the vertices of either a cube or an octahedron and thus may be inscribed in either solid.
