This swivel fob seal originally hung from an unknown gentleman's watch chain, and was likely an unusual souvenir from a trip to Thailand, in a time when traveling to Asia was only done by few people.
The central seal can be turned on its axis and is engraved on each side. One side displays a name, and the other a text in Thai, which translates to ‘Souvenir from Ubon Rachathani’, a region in Thailand.
