This polyhedron can be seen as either a polyhedral stellation or a compound.
[edit] As a compound
It can be seen as the compound of a icosahedron and dodecahedron. It is one of four compounds constructed from a Platonic solid or Kepler-Poinsot solid, and its dual.
It has icosahedral symmetry (Ih) and the same vertices as a rhombic triacontahedron.
[edit] As a stellation
This polyhedron is the first stellation of the icosidodecahedron, and given as Wenninger model index 47.
The stellation facets for construction are:
