Big woven pentagonal polyhedron #1

After folding twerge merged dodecahedra, I wondered what other shapes could be made with the same strips as in Dave Brill's woven dodecahedron. They can be used only in a polyhedron made of (roughly) regular pentagons.

 

After many attempts, it turns that there seems to be only a few such polyhedra with icosahedral/dodecahedral symetry. For the moment I have only found two of them, this one and an other similar one.

 

I don't know if it has a name, I never has seen it drawn or built/folded before, so if you have references for it, or if you know another polyhedron made only of pentagons, let me know !
