Good insights YYZ. I think also that since we are dealing with Buddhism, we might just be looking at what is called an 'endless knot.' There is no beginning of it nor end of the lines.

Originally thought to have been drawn with 2 snakes, the use of the endless knot is understood to establish connection between the giver and the recipient. The recipient is "goaded to righteous karma," by being reminded that "future positive effects have their roots in the causes of the present." The knot represents a connection, a link with individual fates, "binding each to their karmic destiny." This one of the most favorite symbols in Tibetan Buddhism, and often occurs independently on its own.

Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes to the user the infinite wisdom of the Buddha, according to various research.

From wikipedia

Quote:...The endless knot has been described as "an ancient symbol representing the interweaving of the Spiritual path, the flowing of Time and Movement within That Which is Eternal. All existence, it says, is bound by time and change, yet ultimately rests serenely within the Divine and the Eternal."[citation needed] Various interpretations of the symbol are:

The Endless knot iconography symbolised Samsara i.e., the endless cycle of suffering or birth, death and rebirth within Tibetan Buddhism.
The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion.
Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe.
The mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs.
The union of wisdom and method.
The inseparability of emptiness (shunyata) and dependent origination, the underlying reality of existence.
Symbolic of knot symbolism in linking ancestors and omnipresence and the magical ritual and meta-process of binding (refer etymology of Tantra, Yoga and religion) (see Namkha.)
Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the infinite wisdom of the Buddha. See mystic knot.

Endless knots come as mystic/mythological symbols have developed independently in various cultures. A well-known example is the various Celtic knots.

The interlaced form of the unicursal hexagram of occultism is topologically equivalent to the Buddhist endless knot.[1]...
