The largest-ever casting of the Three Legs of Man (Triskeles).
The casting of the Three Legs of Man is in cast-iron and is just over 7 feet in diameter (2.13 metres) it can be found on the southern elevation of the wheelcase which houses the Great Laxey Wheel ("the Lady Isabella").
The casting is attached to the wheelcase with 3 large bolts and this adds weight to the argument that the casting wa made as one complete piece.
