On this page we present and offer to download a free celtic pattern which we named 'Celtic triple spiral symbol'.
In the given picture you can see that the symbol consists of three interwined spirals, which are rotated and distributed within the circle. The triple spiral is one amongst the very old symbols, and throughout history it has been commonly used both as a pattern and as a symbol. It can be often found in Celtic art (applied art) - on monuments, pottery, weapons, manuscripts, etc. It is not known what the pattern exactly symbolized to the ancient Celts; however, when Christianity began to spread in the Celtic territories, the Christians used it as a symbol of trinity.
For those who are dealing with vector graphics, svg and eps file formats have been made available, and for those working with 2D CAD software, the symbol is downloadable in dwg file format.
The pattern is still used a lot and it has a large number of variants. It is also known under the names ‘triskelion’ or ‘triskele’. Such simple patterns are suitable for decorating a variety of products, especially furniture, different objects, architectural details ... You can manually create a carving or a bas relief model in a 3D program and then use a CNC machine or a 3D printer.
