Flags of the World - Isle of Man

December 02, 2020

The flag of the Isle of Man is a triskelion, composed of three armoured legs with golden spurs, upon a red background. It has been the official flag of Mann since  1932 and is based on the Manx coat of arms, which dates back to the 13th century. The three legs are known in Manx as ny tree cassyn 'the three legs'. The triskelion is an ancient symbol, used by the Mycenaeans and the Lycians.
