You might like recent Numberphile videos on youtube about noble polyhedra that were figured out by 17 year old. There's an interview with him too where you can see what is the person like.
I don’t understand what this is. Wikipedia says a uniform polyhedron means that all faces are regular. If all faces are regular, that means its edges are all the same length right? And corners the same angles. But if I look at the photo I can’t find a single face that has that property. Am I looking wrong or am I simply misunderstanding what I’m looking at?

Clay might be a difficult material to use to make it though.
I'd imagine it could probably be made via CNC or 3D printing or similar.

(also TIL a 5-pointed star counts as a regular polygon, feels like cheating somehow)
Yeah, we're used to "convex" polygons. That's the phrasing to remove that part that feels wrong.
