Amerindian sand painting. Probably Navajo or Hopi.
Traditional native cultures have a strong connection with the Mother Earth. The Swastika, though given a bad name by the nazis, is an auspicious symbol that has been around since prehistory, and is found in cultures all over the world. It's four arms represent the Holy Mooladhara Chakra, the subtle centre that connects us to our Mother the Earth. There is also a bandhan (auspicious, protective horseshoe form) around it.
