Alhambra drawing

This pattern is derived from Jones' artwork, see the link below. It is possible that the pattern is the original ceiling Sala de la Barca since this was destroyed in a fire of 1890. The replacement ceiling is slightly different, see Alhambra, Sala de la Barca.

• The symmetry group of the tiling is *442 (p4m).
• All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 15°.
• Contains one regular 8-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 90°.
• Contains one regular 8-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 45°.
• Contains one regular 12-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 60°.
• There are 9 non-regular reflective tiles (including one kite and one dart) and two reflective pairs.
• The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has four finite interlaces and no infinite interlace with straight cross-overs.
• The tiling is edge-to-edge.
