'The 'ID No' for this record was assigned to another prayer wheel (1937.460) during the Buddha's Word project by Alison McKeating. However, another prayer wheel was already assigned the number 1937.460, so a new record was created with the 'ID No' Z 20399 B, to alleviate any confusion.' Ashleigh Griffin | 16/01/2019

Description (Physical description)
Copper alloy, probably brass, prayer wheel. Attached is a wooden handle with a metal spike affixed to end that passes through the brass drum of the prayer wheel. The drum of the prayer wheel is decorated with a repoussé design with the words 'Om Mani Padme Hum' written in Sanskrit. A round weight attached to the side of the drum via a chain allows the drum to revolve. There is a pointed terminus at the top of the drum that keeps the prayer wheel together.
