The triple spiral, triskele or tri-spiral motif that is carved on the passageway wall at Newgrange,Bru na Boinne, Co. Meath ,Ireland is mysterious in both its origin and meaning. One meaning is that the triple spirals are a metaphor for life.
The three spirals are supposed to indicate birth life and death . This ties in with the Celts belief in reincarnation. Another possible meaning is the journey of self discovery, as the spirals go within each other. This symbol has a magical quality.
The triple spiral design is coldcast in brass,then mounted onto a slate plaque,125mm x 125mm in size.
This makes a perfect gift for anyone with Celtic ancestry.
