I believe, if I recall correctly, that this book is reasonable for Tibetan Buddhist symbolism, and I believe that it covers more general imagery as well, such as the 8 auspicious symbols, the dharmachakra, etc. Alternatively, if you want something even more comprehensive, this one might be for you.
Of note, in the first link, one of the reviewers very specifically points out that these two are not the same - the second one is more comprehensive.
Robert Beer's The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs has been an invaluable resource for me in the way of iconography.
if you are interested in tibetan style art, i used this for my own tatoos
