What did the S-shaped sculpture mean in ancient times? Could it have something to do with dragons?

It should be dragon pattern, one of the bronze patterns, and one of the traditional Chinese patterns. Also known as "Kuiwen" or "Solanum nigrum Tattoo". According to the knot type of dragon pattern, it can be roughly divided into crawling dragon pattern, tumbling dragon pattern, crossing dragon pattern, double-headed dragon pattern and catamaran dragon pattern. In the description since the Song Dynasty, all the patterns showing claws on bronzes are also called "Kuiwen" or "Solanum nigrum pattern".

Significance: In Chinese traditional patterns, dragon pattern has always been the main pattern handed down from generation to generation. It is a collection of multiple meanings such as God, imperial power and auspiciousness, but its pattern itself is based on the spiritual form of China people.

Typical ancient sculptures are dragon patterns and moire patterns, and it is more likely that S-shaped sculptures should be dragon patterns.
