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.

For examples in majolica, see Karmason and Stacke, Majolica, A Complete History and Illustrated Survey, New York, 1989, p. 118.
