    I found this today. I looked at the letters stamped in the base and thought oooh native American perhaps. Google is telling me Swedish on all fronts. This makes me think I was reading the wording on the base incorrectly. To me it looks like RIO HEOJA which would infer some Spanish/Hispanic influence. But maybe the letters are in a completely different order?

    Baffled and thanks in anticipation.

    Symbols look like these Sami (in Sweden/Norway/Finland and a part of Russia) symbols (one seems to be the hunter)

    No luck finding a link with the Sami and the text

    Oooh thanks. Never realised the symbols had so much meaning.

    One is perhaps a sacrificed animal or some kind of animal anyway. The one that looks like a seesaw eludes me.

    There are loads of symbols.
