If I didn't know any better I'd say the Isle of Man, too ... boy I haven't a clue... Usually I get at least somewhere in these quizzes ... I'll have to think about that one ...
Yes, it's similar, Cherie. Now there's an idea, Jams! Hi, Nick. I can see why you would think that, but it is not so. Hi, Lucia. Yes, it's a very ancient symbol. Hello, Anita and welcome to the comments section. I'm so glad that you like my blog. Thank you. Hi, James. Wider than that. Hi, Jade. You are, as ever, right. Ciao, Gleds. Not like you to be stumped, as you say! The list of your conquests is legendary, Mutley. Now here's the answer.

Late to the party - my own fault! But pleased to the answer (on seeing a thumbnail, I'd thought of the Isle of Man & not got much further!). Fascinating to learn how deeply-embedded in everyday culture ancient symbols can be. And it's a lovely piece of pottery.
Hi, Phidelm. Always a pleasure to see you, late or not. Like you, I think it's fascinating that this symbol has survived so long and that it symbolises two cultures so far apart in more ways than one. I bought the ceramic in the pottery town of Caltagirone. Hi, mg. Doing Photo Challenge soon.
It looks like the three legs of man from the Isle of Man!
