A rosette
This drawing has been used for an exhibit of Simmetria, giochi di specchi - Symmetry, playing with mirrors, in which visitors are asked to find out the symmetry axes of given drawings like this one. In this case, there are no symmetry axes and the symmetry is cyclic of type C5 (if we consider the small pentagon at the centre); if there wasn't the pentagonal hole at the centre of the figure, the symmetry would be of type C15.
