			This piece was so unsual and unlike anything I had seen before I picked it up simply for the curio value.  However, I think it has a little age to it(at least pre-1940's) and seems to be a ceremonial object.  It has one brass ring left that is affixed to the circular portion of this object so I think it may have been used in dancing.  Any ideas as to origin of this piece?
