24 Lizard tiles, inspired by one of the many planar tilings by M.C. Escher, are mapped around a rounded tetrahedral frame of genus 3. This tiling is a contorted version of the pattern of 24 heptagons displayed on the surface of the marble sculpture “Eight-fold Way” by Helaman Ferguson. That sculpture celebrates Felix Kelin’s famous “Quartic Curve” which achieves the maximal symmetry of 168 automorphisms possible on a genus-3 surface.
