The Speira (Spiral) is one of the oldest and most powerful symbols in the world and has been used since the Paleolithic period in Greece. This complex but powerful symbol is found everywhere and in many ancient civilizations around the world. But especially in Greece, it was a sign and symbol of the ubiquitous Ancient Hellenism and a symbol of the Vital Force. We find it in many Greek houses and it decorates architecturally most of the great public and private buildings and monuments. The triple spiral or triskelion or triskeles is an ancient motif consisting of 3 spiral exhibiting rotational symmetry. The spiral design can be based on interlocking Archimedean spirals, or represent three bent human legs. https://www.greecehighdefinition.com/blog/speira-spiral-oldest-greek-symbols-in-the-world-ancient-greece https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion
