Not like a full equitable octagon, but four faces each split via a small concavity.
I think the attached picture is the original one an RAF pilot took at dusk when he noticed that the shadow wasn't uniform across the face of one side.
I know the 8 sides are contested, some people say the concavity is an optical illusion.

I hear of places, neb, where frozen water floats in the sea that can cool our beer. Though I do not know what foul sorcery is needed to obtain it. Perhaps we shall gain wisdom from Osiris, whose limbs are intact.
