The picture shows a single clockwise spiral. This design has the oldest<br />

history and is the most recorded of the motifs. In some culture, the single spiral<br />

may symbolize growth, expansion and even cosmic energy. For instance, the<br />

wound, clockwise spiral to signify their shrinking winter sun.<br />

This loosely wound anti-clockwise spiral is a symbol of the large<br />

summer sun.
