From HandWiki
Short description: Polyhedral compound
Compound of twelve pentagrammic antiprisms
Type Uniform compound
Index UC45
Polyhedra 12 pentagrammic antiprisms
Faces 120 triangles, 24 pentagrams
Edges 240
Vertices 120
Symmetry group icosahedral (Ih)
Subgroup restricting to one constituent 5-fold dihedral (D5)

This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 12 pentagrammic antiprisms, aligned in pairs with the axes of fivefold rotational symmetry of a dodecahedron. It results from composing the two enantiomorphs of the compound of 6 pentagrammic antiprisms.
