Secret signs

Gothem church is an impressing architecture cast out on the Gotlandish countryside. It seems to have been a rich area when you consider the height of the tower. Other churches have less tall towers.




Sheep are a strong symbol for Gotland where sheep are kept all over the island. So naturally the Lamb of God is a symbol seen in churches for more than one reason. But the secret signs on the stones outside puzzles me. Looks more like gameboards, don't you think?
