©Lily Publications Ltd This symbol, the triskell (or triskelion), is an ancient symbol and it has been associated with the Isle of Man since the 13th century.

The triskell is featured the Celtic religion, and is said to represent the three dynamic elements: water, air, and fire.(but its age and origin are debatable) the three human legs bent at the knee, are conjoined at the upper thigh, the legs are armoured and spurred.
