The Truncated Cube
A semi-regular polyhedron with two octagons and a triangle meeting at each vertex.
The truncated cube 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.
