[edit] Summary
Three crescents interlaced so as to be incomplete Borromean rings. This was the emblem of Diana of Poitiers and her lover Henry II of France (see external site http://www.liv.ac.uk/~spmr02/rings/moons.html ). It has also come to be used in the coat of arms of Bréval (see Image:Blason ville fr Bréval (Yvelines).svg), and in a slightly different form as the emblem (or "petites armoiries") of the city of Bordeaux (see en:Image:Bordeaux30.jpg). In recent years, it has been taken up by a few neopagans (as an alternative version of the symbol Image:Triple-Goddess-Waxing-Full-Waning-Symbol.png), though it has an unfortunate resemblance to a modern biohazard symbol...
For a version in symbolic colors, see Image:Three-Crescents-Diane-Poitiers-multicolored.png .
For a solid form of the symbol, see the lower corner of Image:Religious symbols.svg , or for a fancy rendered version, Image:NeopaganismSymbol2.PNG .
Also, ca. 1400 the Hungerford family of Farleigh castle in western England used a design of three similarly-interlaced sickles as one of their heraldic "badges"; and the arms attributed to Ednywain ap Bradwen, founder of the "15th noble tribe" of north Wales, have three interlaced white serpents on a red shield.
