The dodecahedron-small triambic icosahedron compound is a stellated form of a truncated icosahedron, but a different truncation than in the truncated icosahedron Archimedean solid. It contains curious but attractive patterns of raised regular pentagrams and irregular hexagrams.
The interior is the hull of a small ditrigonal icosidodecahedron and the convex hull has the connectivity of the pentakis dodecahedron.
The compound is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData["DodecahedronSmallTriambicIcosahedronCompound"] and its hull as PolyhedronData["DodecahedronSmallTriambicIcosahedronCompoundHull"].
For a compound hull constructed from a small triambic icosahedron with longest edge length equal to unity, the solid has lengths
