Yes it is a typical one of the Eye of God.

But can anyone with experience in this area suggest what the six whorls are?
They are not perfect circles but more like commas’s! (Click to enlarge the image)

If it’s supposed to be a depiction of the Trinity, the whorls might represent the six days of Creation and the Creator God, the rays are the Son (Light from Light), and the eye the Holy Spirit watching over the blue disk of the Earth (I will send the Advocate).
 
I think they are just old fashioned stylized clouds. I don’t believe they have any real significance in the image, just to be eminating from the eye

JM that is interesting.
While your view re the eye and the Holy Spirit is probably a bridge too far (if any individual Person were to be “poetically” accorded this quality I believe it would be the Father who sees all rather than the HS) - your interpretation of the 6 days in the whorls is something worth considering.

Is this just you or can you source precedents for this understanding?
 
Dear Blue Horizon,
Where did you find this painting or picture and what was the context this painting was derived from?

BP its carving? at the top of a marble “headboard” above the altar at a small village in remote rural Cantabria, Spain.
