Lauburu
The lauburu or Basque cross has four comma-shaped heads similar to the Japanese tomoe. The nowadays most frequent shape can be constructed with a compass and straightedge, beginning with the formation of a square template; each head can be drawn from a neighboring vertex of this template with two compass settings, with one radius half the length of the other.
