Minaret, Husayn Baykara Madrasah, Herat

• The symmetry group of the tiling is *442 (p4m).
• All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 45°.
• Contains one regular 8-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 90°.
• There are two non-regular reflective tiles.
• 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 71 polygons.
