[edit] Summary

A redrawn and slightly schematized version of a symbol found on the Snoldelev Stone. Three horns are interlaced in a pattern similar to incomplete Borromean rings. See Image:Three-Crescents-Diane-Poitiers.png for discussion of other symbols with a similar pattern of interlacing.

It is the main symbol of the religion of Odianism.
