Figure 1
Rose window on the south entrance (Puerta del Sarmental) of the Burgos cathedral in Northern Spain. The 20-fold pattern is rather rare. The symmetry of this rose window is C10v (or 10mm), consisting of a tenfold central symmetry (inner circle) and mirror planes of symmetry duplicating each `leaf' on the other side of each of the ten radial lines. Overall, the left side is balanced by a symmetrical equivalent on the right side. Image from the personal collection of the author. |
