A STAFFORDSHIRE 'ISLE OF MAN' TEAPOT AND COVER

專家說明

The three legs on the gentleman's coat and in his physique mirror the triskelion based on the Isle of Man's flag (based on the coat-of-arms of the Norse King of Mann, Mangus III). The triskelion is also a sun symbol in a number of ancient civilizations.
