Two motifs from the large dado, made into a repeating pattern. For another part of the dado from the North wall see Alhambra, Salon de Comares.

• Growth dynamic build of this pattern.
• Random dynamic build of this pattern.
• Structured dynamic build of this pattern.
• The symmetry group of the tiling is *442 (p4m).
• All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 15°.
• Contains two regular 12-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 60°.
• There are 7 non-regular reflective tiles (including 2 kites).
• The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has no finite interlace and two infinite interlaces with straight cross-overs.
• The tiling is edge-to-edge.
• As drawn, contains about 503 polygons.
