Summary

DescriptionTriskele-hollow-triangle.svg	Triple spiral or spiral triskelion symbol with hollow triangle in center. Inspired by various Celtic decorative motifs, but this version is constructed from mathematical Archimedean spirals. For other versions of the spiral triskelion or triple-spiral symbols, see Image:Triskele-Symbol-spiral-five-thirds-turns.svg , Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-filled.svg , Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol-4turns-filled.svg , Image:Triskele-Symbol-spiral.svg , or Image:Triple-Spiral-Symbol.svg . For "wheeled" forms of the triple-spiral, see Image:Wheeled-Triskelion-basic.svg , Image:Roissy triskelion iron ring signet.png , Image:Triple-spiral-wheeled-simple.svg , or Image:Triskelion-spiral-threespoked-inspiral.svg .
