I know it's not directly comparable, but the word 'polysemic' is often thrown about these days to indicate that there are very likely layers of meaning/multiple meanings to abstracted motifs, such as CnRs and passage grave art. The carvings on the drums could mean absolutely anything. If it were ten years ago, I'd be saying they were entoptic representations. But that's pure conjecture.
