No real historical background to add to this; I'm just a sucker for spirals. They can be found the world over from almost every culture and every epoch. While they don't always represent the exact same things from region to region throughout time they are usually somehow linked to either goddess worship, veneration of ancestors or the continuity of life, or all of the above.
