In a 3D context, I want to evaluate the intersection of two rectangular frustums.
The intersection of those two frustums will be a convex polytope, I think.
What will be the maximum number of faces (and optionally, of vertices and edges) that can have this intersection ?

How many faces can have at most the intersection of two rectangular frustums?

My experiments have shown that the maximum number of faces of the intersection of those two frustums is 11. I observed it programmatically by computing in a 3d software the intersection of two frustums which dimensions I could change at will.
However I do not have a theoretical proof for that number (neither know if it really is the maximum).
