This most likely symbolizes Jesus’s death by crucifixion and his subsequent rebirth thus demonstrating the cyclical theme Dali was trying to portray.

Alan wasted two bullets by shooting them into the trunk of a large pine tree. “Hey, save your bullets man!” Danny shouted. “Sorry, I’m nervous,” Alan replied. Nick shushed both of them, and listened. The howls still raged on from somewhere beyond the clearing. There were what sounded like thousands…
