Complex Split Sphere Modeling

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to create a model of the image below and wanted to get suggestions for the best strategy to recreate it.
I have tried a few different strategies but haven't really come up with anything to successfully recreate the geometry.
Would it be better to start with a sphere and then cut it up or create a single path and pattern 16 times?
I would be grateful for any suggestions!
Happy Designing,

I would model a single part, slightly rotate that part to show off those edges, then circular pattern that part 16 times.
