This is a beautiful and subtle mm-type border. In fact if you look closely at the details, the first “m” becomes doubtful and it could be called 1m: an example where classification is not always cut-and-dried — it can depend on what elements you choose to concentrate on.
This blog explores symmetry types as manifested in mandalas and border patterns, in the streets of Manhattan, and beyond. It is for students in Professor Kirby’s classes, and anyone else who’s interested in spinning out the mathematical ramifications of mandalas and border patterns.
