The fire cross was used in the symbolism of Latvian aviation from December 1919 to October 1940. The identification mark of Latvian warplanes at that time was a dark red (the color of the Latvian national flag) fire cross in a white circle with branches to the right. The use of the fire cross was proposed by commander Rūdolfs Drillis, taking the idea from Latvian ornamentation, especially the Lielvārde belt and gloves. In turn, the design of the fire cross was developed by artist Vilis Krūmiņš, along with the meaning of the aviation regiment's breastplate - an eagle with a fire cross.

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.
