Very similar to the celtic triskel. Amazing how different cultures going back thousands of years have very similar symbology. I wonder where it actually origonated from. Last year we made a door knocker as an immigration gift for someone going to new zealand. After research, the similarity to celtic shapes and especially spirals surpised me. What is it about spirals? Obviously 3 and the curves in the same direction are very powerful also. My favourite image is the running hare triskel, found all over England and Ireland dating back for centuries. Wonderful stuff
