I read somewhere that the motif is interpreted as the sun's journey through the constellation Gemini.

My theory/supposition is also that they either served astronomical purposes (in combination with maybe even rituals?) or were signposts/stone maps.

Wonderful - are the location of the site and the circumstances of his discovery known ?

@Dudy: The stone is from a burial mound from Fur. I found the link where I read it. Fig13 and footnote 25.
This is a link
