I am thinking it is a seal of some sort of authority. The up facing triangle is associated with divine power and the triumphant cross reinforces this notion. The circle with an X though it often signifies something inportant but can't make it if with the other parts. If I know where it was found on the bridge it might help.
--------------------
Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion.... We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything.... The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light. This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.
-Sage Vasishtha
