Moss's egg

In Euclidean geometry, Moss's egg is an oval made by smoothly connecting four circular arcs. It can be constructed from a right isosceles triangle ABC with apex C. To construct Moss's egg: * Draw a semicircle on the base AB of the triangle, outside of the triangle. * Connect it to a circular arc centered at B from A to a point D on line BC, and by another circular arc centered at A from B to a point E on line AC. * Complete the oval by a circular arc centered at B, from D to E. (Wikipedia).
