Nice find!
The square engraving is known as the "Seal of Solomon," a symbol for King Solomon's ring. Folk Islam attributed Solomon's control over Jinn to his possession of the ring which came straight from Allah.
The other engravings- the circles- may refer to either stages in spiritual ascent, or energy sources.
Hope this helps, nice kris!
