Description:

base of the Friday Mosque "Jam'aa" at Herat in Afghanistan

Notes: The surface of the wall and the column are covered in many, many tessellations. The darkly colored design on the upper middle portion of the column may be a demiregular tessellation (or even more complex). It is hard to decide with such a far view of the design.
