Triskelion
A triskelion or triskele is a motif consisting of a triple spiral exhibiting rotational symmetry. The spiral design can be based on interlocking Archimedean spirals, or represent three bent human legs.
Both terms are from Greek "τρισκέλιον" (triskelion) or "τρισκελής" (triskeles), "three-legged", from prefix "τρι-" (tri-), "three times" + "σκέλος" (skelos), "leg".
A triskelion is a traditional symbol of Sicily, where it is called trinacria; the Isle of Man, where it is known in Manx as Tree Cassyn Vannin, and Brittany where it is known as Triskèle. Ingushetia also has a stylized triskelion in its flag.
This sculture, by Bryan Kneale, is located at the Ronaldsway Airport, Isle of Man.
