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 symmetry type of this rosette is quite interesting: in the centre, it has a dihedral symmetry type D5, while in the exterior part we note a dihedral symmetry type D8. As G.C.D.(5,8)=1, on the whole we just have a dyhedral D1 symmetry type.
