Summarize this article for a 10 year old
In geometry, the crossed pentagonal cuploid or crossed pentagonal semicupola is one member of the infinite family of cuploids. It can be obtained as a slice of the great complex rhombicosidodecahedron. As in all cupolae, the base polygon has twice as many edges and vertices as the top; but in this case the base polygon is a degenerate {10/4} decagram, as the top is a {5/4} pentagon. Hence, the degenerate base is withdrawn and the triangles are connected to the squares instead.

It may be seen as a cupola with a retrograde pentagonal base, so that the squares and triangles connect across the bases in the opposite way to the pentagonal cupola, hence intersecting each other.
