content: From card: "Handle beaded. Whirling or swastika among other designs."
label: Notes
content: Beadwork design resembles swastika. Note that many cultures around the world, including North America, used the swastika as a positive symbol (sometimes representing the four directions, or the whirlwind ...), long before the National Socialist (Nazi) party came to power in Germany in the 1920s. It disappeared from use after it became negatively viewed because of its association with the Nazi party.
