The figure of a three-legged Swastika resembling the traditional emblem of ftie Isle of Man, has been discovered carved in a quarry near the Rhineland bathing resort of Durkheim in the Palatinate. The excavating party. working under Professor Sprater, of the historical museum at Speyer, came upon a number of ritual figures on the sandstone walls at Brunholdisstuhl. Among these, apart from the Swastika, were designs depicting the ravens of Odin, wheels and horses of the sun, and a German spear dancer. The designs are regarded as having been carved by German workmen engaged in the quarries under Roman supervision about the year 250 A.D.
