This is a shape transformation of a 6x6x6. The top and the bottom layers were cut down so that it seems to be a 4x6x6. However, it turns like a 6x6x6 and there is no bandaging.
There is a very important puzzle "Hexadecagonal prism" which enables to call this mod "cross". There is also a series of barreled puzzles where the first one is a floppy barrel and the second is a 2x4x4 barrel but where all sides are 2x2 sides. In order to get the side pattern right, the stickers had to be split as there are not enough pieces on a 6x6x6 to get the number which increases so fast because of the geometrical progression. The logic was that the "next" puzzle after a floppy barrel is not a barrel 2x4x4, but a 2x4x4 barrel made from a proportional 2x6x6, but trying to build that out of a 2x4x4. This logic was adapted to the hexadecagonal prisms since the hexadecagonal prism is a barreled 4x6x6.
The inventor then figured out that a much larger puzzle can be made from a 4x4x4 giving 36x54x54 tablet which is a segment of a galaxy-sized 54x54x108 turned into a barrel which functions like a 4x4x12. See separate entry in the museum. One of two 36x54x54s made by him is a tablet(barreled cuboid shape) and the second one is a "3d oval in 2 dimensions" which is a different shape than a tablet.
Cutting the stickers took circa 18 hours.
