Sicily '06

The three legs of the Trinacria, the heraldic symbol of Sicily, are said to represent the island's three points. The head depicted in the center is that of Medusa. The Trinacria is quite similar to the three-legged heraldic symbol of the Isle of Man, another medieval Norman dominion. Posted by Picasa
