This pattern shows the basic line structure with the doll-shaped tiles overlapping.
Geometry
- The symmetry group of the tiling is 2*22 (cmm).
- All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 36°.
- Contains two regular two-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 72°.
- Contains two regular five-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 36°.
- Contains two regular 10-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 72°.
- There are five non-regular reflective tiles (including 2 kites) and two tiles with no mirror image.
- The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has one finite interlace and two infinite interlaces with straight cross-overs.
- The tiling is edge-to-edge.
- As drawn, contains about 331 polygons.
