The triskele, also known as the triskelion, is one of the oldest symbols associated with Celtic culture and is closely linked to Ireland. It consists of three spirals emerging from a common centre, representing movement, balance and the eternal cycle of life. For the Celts, it symbolised the unity of three forces – such as life, death and rebirth, or earth, water and sky. The symbol can already be found on prehistoric monuments, including Newgrange in Ireland. The triskele evokes the harmony of nature and personal inner growth. It is regarded as a protective symbol associated with strength, stability and spiritual connection.
The hatched decoration is characteristic of La Tène art – see the famous Gundestrup Cauldron.
