The outer ring is composed of six equal segments.

It denotes the energies of creation and manifestation, a little like the Tibetan 'dorje'.
In Celtic iconography, three denotes the spiritual or divine realms.
This design is typical of Celtic metaphysical art because each of the arms has slightly different characteristics and shape - Early Celtic metalworkers often made things to look superficially symmetrical, but on clos
