Sterling Library's Architectural Surprises

Wandering in the Sterling Library of Yale, I found a strange engraved image, that appears in the shelves every time there is a door in the library. 

Could it be like a coded mysterious sign? 

Or maybe a secret button you have to press while saying the right word in order to make the door become a portal to another dimension? 

Or maybe just a depiction that the architect did near a door because it was bored, and then had to replicate near all the doors because otherwise it would have to make up a story to justify the presence of it...

Here there is the foto of the depiction...

...and here there is my (a bit weird, since I'm very bad at drawing :) ) sketch of it.
