AJ,

I have seen very similar symbols in Seljuq school architecture so I would say it is presented as something in the way of a tribute to the old Turco-Persian rulers of Central Asia.

I would suggest starting there to look for the symbol in Seljuq and post Seljuq period art work and architecture .

I know I have it in books here but I am just too busy at present to get through my own work to look.
