I purchased this object at a yard sell, where the family was selling off items from the estate of an avid world traveler. I am hoping that someone from the CW family can help me with any information on the piece. It looks to have Persian symbols.
Appears to be a Tibetan prayer wheel..pretty common.
Here's some explanation..
