It's a polyhedron .

Obviously, but which kind? Maybe the OP can start by giving some numerical information like number of faces, edges and vertices. And perhaps get a close up of one of the faces. It doesn't look like a regular polygon to me.

like number of faces, edges and vertices

Or at least two of the three.

Haha, true!

I did some basic research, and it's probably this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_hexecontahedron It is one of the Catalan solids.

I thought this, too, playing with the quoted animations.
