| Keywords: Triple-spiral-wheeled-simple.png An attempt at a simple form of a wheeled type of Triskelion symbol containing three double spirals connected together by spokes on the inside and which branch out into arcs of a circle partially enclosing the whole figure on the outside Inspired by various Celtic decorative motifs but this version is constructed from mathematical Archimedean spirals For another effort in this direction see Image Wheeled-Triskelion-basic png also enclosed in partial circle For a more ornate wheeled triskelion see Image Triskelion-spiral-threespoked-inspiral png enclosed in overall spiral For other non-wheel versions of the triskelion or triple-spiral symbols see Image Triskele-Symbol-spiral-five-thirds-turns png Image Triple-Spiral-Symbol-filled png Image Triple-Spiral-Symbol-4turns-filled png Image Triskele-Symbol-spiral png or Image Triple-Spiral-Symbol png For a spiral triskelion with a hollow triangle in the center see Image Triskele-hollow-triangle png For versions of a triple-spiral labyrinth see Image Triple-Spiral-labyrinth png and Image Triple-Spiral-labyrinth-variant png Generated by means of the following
