This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of two truncated tetrahedra, formed by truncating each of the tetrahedra in the stellated octahedron. It is related to the cantic cube construction of the truncated tetrahedron, as , which is one of the two dual positions represented in this compound.
The vertex arrangement is the same as a convex, but nonuniform rhombicuboctahedron having 12 rectangular faces.
