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.
