The motif, almost unknown until now as the original is in a private collection, probably dates from the 1st century of the Old Age. Place of discovery: continental Europe(Gaul?). It is a talisman on which the triskel is abstractly depicted with Celtic wit, as well as the lunar formations that symbolize abundance. The triskele is a widespread element in Celtic art and is generally understood as a symbol representing the three elements. Another interpretation is that it represents a triad of Gods or Goddesses. For example, the God Manannán mac Lir (God of the Sea in Irish mythology) is often associated with the triskele.
