Here is a possible explanation for those symbols ...
The inner symbol at lower left is
"Shin" the twenty-first letter in many Semitic abjads, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew שׂ, and Arabic šīn ﺵ (in abjadi order, 12th in modern order).
In Judaism Shin also stands for S-letter symbolism for the word "Shaddai," a name for God.
In Jewish tradition the letter Shin is inscribed on the Mezuzah, a vessel which houses a scroll of parchment with Biblical text written on it. . Sometimes the whole word "Shaddai" is written.
The upper signs in the circle are astrological symbols of
Leo and Virgo.
The other kabbalistic sign oposit of "Shin" could be a "Caput Draconis", which is the “Dragon’s head” or North Lunar Node in astrology. I am not 100% sure of this one, though.
Hope this was of help.
Peace, L
ve and Blessings
