(This photo shows a "part" of a mystery object from my life. The challenge? Guess what the object is and the function of the object.

If you can, post in Spanish and English, and, if clues are needed I will post them "along the way" so keep your eyes "peeled". And a rule for my game friends - you can post "multiple times" of course but please - one guess per post! That gives everyone "present" a chance to have a "stab at it" and makes it easier for me to follow the thread and the answers. Thanks.

Answer 2

¡Bien hecho Albert!

This beautiful object is a prayer-wheel. It belongs to one of my friends who brought it back from India and kindly allowed me to photograph it. The words in the last clue are a mantra given to my friend to go with the wheel.

And from "Wiki"

"Thus the six syllables, OM MANI PADME HUM, mean that by the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. " HH the Dalai Lama.....
