The five-petal flower symbol or five-petal flower, also known as the egnéle (Classical Doccábh /ˌeɣʲ.nʲe:.ˈlʲe/), is a symbol originating from the Doccábh empire which was used to represent the Doccábh people. Today, it sees use as a symbol for Doccábh nationalism, with the 5 points of the flower giving rise to other imagery referencing them.

Origins, meaning, variations

The symbol was originally used to represent the Quinquevirate, but later into the empire became a symbol for the empire itself and thus also to represent Doccábh people. The earliest usages of the flower appear in steles and masonry from circa 3000CY.

Variations exist, usually differing on inclusion of dots on the ends of the five petals, a central dot, and omission of the inner loops.
