The picture is showing (the real points of a part of) the Barth-sextic, an algebraic surface in complex three-dimensional projective space with 65 double points, given by the equation:

4(t^2 x^2 - y^2)(t^2 y^2 - z^2)(t^2 z^2 - x^2) - (1+2t)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 1)^2 = 0 , t = 0.5*(1 + sqrt(5))


If your browser shows wrong colors or patterns on the surface, try to copy the picture and use a better picture viewer.
