If it is fair to assume that the swirl-cross was not a symbol that could be used randomly, then it is worth noting that it has limited symbolic associations. In the collection surveyed, the following additional motifs occur on artifacts in conjunction with the swirl-cross: raccoon binding, raccoon skin, striped pole, masks, pendant forms, Crested Bird, tassel, neck beads, cyma, looped square, cross, concentric circles, rayed circle, spider, forked eye, hand, petaloid border, petaloid fan, paired figures, and rattle.
