I read somewhere that the horse under a tree design comes from the story about the founding of Carthage. Something along the lines of they knew they had come to the right spot when they found a palm tree with the skeleton of a horse beneath it. I was originally thinking that should have been a bad sign, but if the horse was sacred to Baal then I suppose it actually would be a good sign.
On the other hand, things did end rather poorly for them...perhaps they should have kept going until they found a palm tree with a live horse beneath it...
