I think Thomas has it about right (but should also include Quixote).
The spinning cross is also a swastika. Also a Yin/Yang symbol.
Thomas' "and a circle" should, besides the spinning nature of this
cross also include the "image" of the eye. This is not an eye, but an
"image of" one, and as such is a circle itself being seen by another.
I love GR. Its depth of imagery is amazing.
