Hindu baoding ball?

Navajo Ben Wa ball?

Make sure the kids are in bed before you Google that last one.

Haha I hope it's not the Navajo one.

most likely it is one of a pair imported from India (Hindu ) * the swastika was used for many thousands of years by several cultures as a "good luck" symbol before Hitler forever ruined it by "adopting it" -- these types of balls normally come in a set of two and are rolled around in the palm of the had while meditating for "stress relief"--this appears to be old -- thus pre Nazi era *

Thank you Ivan that's awesome, yeah it's to brittle to be squished but I'll hang on to it then. Very cool.

All true. I spent a year in the south of India and there are Swazis everywhere. Still. They are rather pissed that Hitler stole it from the and turned it into a dirty word.
