Dacia,

You took some loose ideas and gave us exactly what we wanted!

Thank you!

This design comes from a carving in one of a series of block stones surrounding the top of the Manx Museum on the Isle of Mann. It is another interpretation of the the "Three Legs" as seen on their Flag.

It is also sometimes known as "Triskele" due to the similar design. Other countries have used the "Three Legs" or "Triskele" in many ways with similar meaning. The Isle of Mann is the only place we are aware of that has garnished the legs with armor and spurs.

The Latin interpretation of The Isle of Mann's Motto "Quocunque Jeceris Stabit" is loosely translated to modern English as: "Whichever way you throw me, I will stand." This is a true symbol of the resilience of the Manx people.

Thank you to all of you who have traded with us!

Thank you to all of you that have found these in caches and logged them online!
