Inspired by Celtic mythology and the beautiful Irish coast close to where I live, this hand carved antler pendant depicts a Triskele (also known as Triskelion or, in the context of Celtic Christianity, the Trinity symbol), one of the oldest known symbols that appeared early in prehistory and continues to be in use to this day.

From triple spiral at the entrance of the megalithic tomb of Newgrange in Ireland to Triskele shaped three hares on medieval church windows across Europe, the symbolic significance of a Triskele keeps sparking imagination and offers a variety of interpretations. Some of common connotations include underworld-human world-faerie world, life-death-rebirth, sea-land-sky, spirit-mind-body, mother-father-child, maiden-mother-crone, past-present-future, etc.

The Triskele is associated with Manannán Mac Lir, old Irish god of sea and the ruler and guardian of the Otherworld who ferries souls to the afterlife. The Isle of Man (Mannin in Manx language) is named after him, and the flag of the Isle of Man features a Triskele in form of three armoured legs. This pendant is adorned with a large blue glass bead, a hint to Triskele's association with the sea.
