  There's a really intriguing reflection of the studio or location of where this was taken on the left side of her breastplate, It looks like a long hall or railway station.

  A Celtic triune or triad is possibility perhaps, or the mythic or later empire idea of 'Britannia' holding a trident?
  
  Added later : Even earlier than Boudicca a personification goddess like Eriu for Eire , Brigantia for Britain... a form of the Goddess Brigid .
  Three rivers are named for Her - Brigit, Braint and Brent in Ireland, Wales and England, respectively. As with the Celtic river goddess of the Seine in Paris , Sequana
  In modern Britain today She is shown as the warrior-maiden, Brigantia, and venerated not only as justice and authority in that country, but also as the personification of Britain as is seen on the coin of the realm. There is a story, coming from the 12th century, in which Merlin is inspired by a feminine figure who represents the sovereignty of the Land of Britain. She causes his visions to reach through British history, on, so it is said, to the end of the solar system. Taliesin also describes a traditional cosmology, inspired by Brigantia. She is central to many heroic myths, especially those concerned with underworld quests and sacred kingship. This seems to relate to Her concern for the development of human potential.
