Wait, what? |
Mrs Gear found the pictured item at a local goodwill for a few bucks. She thought it was neat and being the inquisitive type set out to try and figure just what it is she found. I will describe it as best I can. All attempts to find something on the internet using several different descriptive words were unsuccessful. I have seen many odd objects identified on SF, so I’m asking the collective. The item in question is a spherical object weighing 1 lb 7 oz. It has a diameter of approximately 5”. The covering appears to be brass sheets that are tacked onto a core with small nails. You can see the nails in picture 1. The nails tacking down the brass sheets suggest that the core material is wood. I have no idea what the patterns mean. It is clearly made for displaying as there is a lack of any dents or abrasions to indicate a physical usage. My gut says it is in the category of “Indian schlock” but we are open to suggestions.   gallery pic upload“Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | ||

Now that some of us have had our fun, that looks like a Christmas ornament. I've hunted around the 'net, but my google-fu is weak. I'll keep looking. H&K-Guy | |||
