Description	Drum of a fine metal prayer wheel with fine filigree soldered to metal ground with four rosettes on body of drum, consisting of seven small cabochon-shaped turquoise in each rosette, and a ring of turquoise on bottom of drum. Weight normally attached to chain (on side) missing as well as the "pole" through the center which is held stationary in hand while prayer wheel rotates clockwise. Inside the drum are kept prayers on paper so that when the worshiper twirls the drum by means of the weight, that will send the prayer heavenward the number of times the drum rotates, and thus gain merit.
