In geometry, the grand stellated 120-cell or grand stellated polydodecahedron is a regular star 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol . It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polytopes.It is also one of two such polytopes that is self-dual.

Related polytopes

It has the same edge arrangement as the grand 600-cell, icosahedral 120-cell, and the same face arrangement as the great stellated 120-cell.

Due to its self-duality, it does not have a good three-dimensional analogue, but (like all other star polyhedra and polychora) is analogous to the two-dimensional pentagram.
