    I found this at a thrift store last week. I think its a swagger stick, possibly Thai?, but does anyone know what the stamp is on the top of the cap? Silver?
    And what looks like a Brahman bull?
    Thanks!

    upload_2026-3-23_10-58-46.png This looks like a version of a "caduceus", which has been used as a medical symbol, but also is the symbol for Hermes, the Greek messenger god. Can you show the other images on this end of the stick?

    Also a photo of the top of the stick please.

    The script is one of the SE Asian scripts, and the checkerboard pattern looks like a calendar used to calculate auspicious days.
