Product description
A claymore with Celtic details. The pommel and crossguard are decorated with triskelions. The triskelion consists of a triple spiral with rotational symmetry or other threefold patterns emerging from a common center. The spiral design may be based on interlocking Archimedean spirals or represent three curved human limbs. The triple appearance can be compared to the Germanic Valknut and the triquetra. The art of the Hallstatt period (800–500 BCE) was characterized by geometric patterns and abstract motifs. The spiral-shaped triskelion continued to be used, appearing on objects such as fibulae (brooches). Sometimes, the triskelion featured four shapes instead of three. The Germanic art styles of the Bronze and Iron Ages also incorporated similar motifs.
