The pentagrammic cuploid, also called the pentagrammic semicupola or stiscu, is an orbiform polyhedron. It consists of 5 triangles, 5 squares, and 1 pentagram. It is a cuploid based on the pentagram {5/2}, with a pseudo {10/2} base (corresponding to a doubled-up pentagon which is blended out).

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

A pentagrammic cuploid of edge length 1 has vertices given by the following coordinates:

The pentagrammic cuploid can be edge-inscribed into the small ditrigonary icosidodecahedron; it uses its triangles and pentagrams as well as squares of the rhombihedron, the inscribed compound of 5 cubes.
