Abstract

We construct a polyhedron with ten vertices of genus three which has three axes of symmetry. It is as symmetric as possible. Ten is the minimal number of vertices which a polyhedron of genus three can have. A modification of our polyhedron yields a symmetric polyhedral realization of Dyck's regular map.
