Description:

Persian

Notes: Most of this design is the regular tessellation 3.3.3.3.3.3. However, the equilateral triangles are colored in such a way that larger forms become clear. We can see equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, and star shapes made up of these smaller equilateral triangles, just through the variations in color.
