Description:

Byzantine

Notes: The underlying design is the semiregular tessellation 3.6.3.6. Each equilateral triangle and regular hexagon is this semiregular tessellation has been divided into smaller polygons. Symmetry is still mainted however, since the division itself was symmetrical. Translational, reflective, and rotational symmetries can all be found in this design. Because both reflective and translational symmetries can be found, glide reflective symmetry can also be found by definition.
