This uniform polyhedron compound is a chiral symmetric arrangement of 6 pentagonal prisms, aligned with the axes of fivefold rotational symmetry of a dodecahedron.

This compound shares its vertex arrangement with four uniform polyhedra as follows:


Nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron

Great dodecicosidodecahedron

Great rhombidodecahedron

Truncated great dodecahedron

Compound of six pentagonal prisms

Compound of twelve pentagonal prisms
