Mock-ups of how the swastika in the sky throughout the changing seasons may have looked when Thuban/Alpha Draconis was the Pole star and the constellation Draco revolved around the celestial pillar of the northern hemisphere. Note the similarity to the Etruscan swastika variation that commonly featured on funerary urns.
It is also possible to see a similarity of the ‘Dragon swastika’ to the cup and dot Rosa Camuna swastika variation common to the Val Camonica petroglyph area in Northern Italy. The inner dots might correspond to Ursa Minor and Thuban. Note that the image of the Rosa Camuna has been flipped.
Why then does its shape describe a clockwise motion, whereas the stars turn anti-clockwise around the pole?
Perhaps the design relates to the shamanic practice of ascent up the ‘Pillar of the World’ (to use the Lapp term). Numerous Siberian and northern European peoples … see the Pole Star as the summit of a pole holding up the sky. Eliade notes similar beliefs about the Pole Star in Ancient Saxon, Scandinavian and Romanian myths. If one imagines the Swastika design to be the base of a Pillar of the World, the implicit motion of the design makes sense. Something that appears to turn anti-clockwise when looking up from the bottom of a pole will, if it slides down the pole and is viewed from above, appear to turn clockwise.

Whilst the composite is a close match, the head of Draco has to join with the position of Ursa Minor from a different period of the rotation, 3 months later, which might actually explain the reason for the existence of the petroglyph, that it had to drawn out in order to be seen.
Furthermore, the entirety of the premise of swastikas composed of constellations around the pole star is that they cannot be seen at any one time, they are a collage of views of it throughout the change of the seasons. Could the Triskele be explained by the fact that some cultures saw a year as having 3 seasons instead of 4? It should be noted that it is unlikely for the stars to be the origin and meaning of the swastika and triskele, rather one of the artefacts of nature in which it is visible, for it may be not a man-made symbol, but one made by nature.

A spectacular pattern in which the outline of the swastika forms the ‘Etruscan swastika’. It is possible that the pattern is intended to depict the two types of swastikas that may be formed by Draco and The Chariots. Although it could be accidental.
In Japan, Manji tsunagi (万字繋) is the name for the pattern family that connects several swastikas of the same direction horizontally or tilted and it includes this pattern.
