Featured Find-Indian clubs or 'mudgara', who knew ?

Find these old beauties for $12 ea, and surprisingly they still sell well (least on Ebay). They're an easy-peasy 'plug n' play' decorator addition.
What I didn't realize is the term 'Indian Club' comes from East Indian/Iran and not from Native American history or tradition.
They are known as 'mudgara' in Indian and 'mil' in Persian and 'are a type of exercise equipment used to present resistance in movement to develop strength and mobility.'
PS- The 1stDibs kids like these heavily patinaed (beat to ***).

 

Funny-the #2 stamp shape reminds me of the Mary Quant logo.
