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

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


Rhombicosidodecahedron

Small dodecicosidodecahedron

Small rhombidodecahedron

Small stellated truncated dodecahedron

Compound of six pentagrammic prisms

Compound of twelve pentagrammic prisms
