The triskele, sometimes written triskelion, called triquêtre in French, is an interesting symbol. It consists of three legs united at the thigh. It was the symbol of Trinacria (Sicily, thus named for its triangular shape) in the Antique world, and was resurrected by Murat when he became King of Naples in 1808 and gave the kingdom new arms. (The descendants still use those arms). Usually a human face is placed at the conjunction of the thighs.
