I was wondering what other similar words there were for other numbers and found the answer from Wikipedia: "tetraptych or quadriptych describes 4 parts; pentaptych describes 5 parts; hexaptych describes 6 parts; heptaptych describes 7 parts; and octaptych is the term used for an eight-part, or eight-panel, work of art." These are all polyptychs.Postcardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399915833682943432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-10680735909998091742014-04-12T17:48:29.925+01:002014-04-12T17:48:29.925+01:00An astonishing tan indeed.
