Geometry
- The tiling has no symmetry group and hence is not a repeat pattern.
- All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 36°.
- Contains three regular pentagons.
- Contains five regular 10-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 72°.
- There are two non-regular reflective tiles.
- The tiling is not edge-to-edge.
- As drawn, contains about 975 polygons.
