Basque Symbols

While I'm still here, Some strange Basque signage:

Basque Swastika made out of Jai alai Baskets. So strange.

It's a Basque Swastika made out of Jai alai Baskets. The Basque culture, like MANY cultures uses a swastika like symbol - no sure exactly what the basque type means. "Jai Alai" (or the basque term for the same game" means, "Merry Game". I see a lot of the same symbol on pottery - where it's more of a flowy, flowery type of design - but I've never seen a 4 pedal flower. Strange!
