A rosette
The drawing of one of the fifteen rosettes in the horizontal row lying in the middle of the façade of S. Maria Novella, in Florence.
You can see an other one; or you can see a photo of the same rosette.
The rosette has a dihedral symmetry type D4. If we consider separately the different annuli, we would have, from the interior top the exterior, symmetry types D4, D8, D16.
