In 4-dimensional geometry, the dodecagonal cupola is a polychoron bounded by a rhombicosidodecahedron, a parallel dodecahedron, connected by 30 triangular prisms, 12 pentagonal prisms, and 20 tetrahedra.[1]

The dodecahedral cupola can be sliced off from a runcinated 120-cell, on a hyperplane parallel to a dodecahedral cell. The cupola can be seen in a pentagonal centered orthogonal projection of the runcinated 120-cell:
