We consider certain exponential box splines E on a three-direction mesh whose exponents satisfy a symmetry condition. It is shown, in particular, that given bounded data on the integer lattice in R2, there is a unique bounded combination of integer translates of E that interpolates the data. When all exponents are zero, this reduces to a result of de Boor, Höllig and Riemenschneider in [2]. Unlike the proof in [2] we use only elementary analysis and do not employ any computer calculations.
