ETRUSCAN / (Text translated by Google) / This table is typical of the Etruscan period waning, both the colors and patterns chosen, which still dominate the continent. The woman and the lyre are suspended in a clear sign! The dog could easily be part of any lot, even if only because of his treatise. The bird perched with a pronounced Irish medieval, can easily be linked with Celtic migrants. The horse and the attributes that are the wheel, and the dagger triscèle involve the classification Celtic chosen!
Horse Celtic: Ubiquitous on Celtic coins, one, called back to the pot of gold and was originated in Normandy ( FRANCE)
Wheel Celtic: Redundant in Celtic iconography for his religious role, while the circle is regarded as static, the spokes of the wheel, allowing it to turn, give a symbolic dynamics comparable to the cycle of Becoming. The god Taranis activated the wheel of the world which symbolizes the sun which revolves in the sky, providing life and eternal renewal.
Triscèle: The triscèle or triskele is the tripartite division of a circle similar to the quadripartition the swastika with arms bent. The association in this symbol of the rotation and turning is a predominant effect of dynamic directional. The three human legs bent at the knee were mainly represented on coins of Pamphylia, a former southern region of Asia Minor, sometimes also in Greece and Sardinia.
Dagger: Very common if not inevitable among the Celts who used it mainly for hunting and carrying in their graves.
