[Polyknot and Polylink Introduction] > [Escher Polyknots and Polylinks] > [Escher-Archimedean Polyknots and Polylinks]
The base polyhedra for these polyknots and polylinks are the Archimedean polyhedra as for example the truncated icosahedron and the Escher truncated icosahedral polyknot (Figure 1).
