Alhambra, Salon de Comares

This graphic reproduces a fragment of dado panels on the south wall of the Salon de Comares, to form a repeating pattern. The full panel is shown in The Alhambra, Salon de Comares.

• The symmetry group of the tiling is *442 (p4m).
• All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 45°.
• Contains one square.
• Contains two regular 8-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 90°.
• There are four non-regular reflective tiles (including one kite).
• The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has one finite interlace and no infinite interlace with straight cross-overs.
• The tiling is edge-to-edge.
• As drawn, contains about 261 polygons.
