Ceramic mixing bowl with a triskeles

The Trinacria is the official symbol of Sicily, translated from the Greek words tria (three) and akra (promontory). The emblem, also known as a triskelion, is tripartite in form, combines three human legs, representing the three points of the island, encircling a winged head of the gorgon Medusa, probably the most commonly found ancient Greek symbol from the island, and three sheaths of wheat, demonstrating the island’s potent fertility.
