31SH what is it?

31SH what is it?
Sunday challenge - What is it?
Greek "Owls" were first struck in Athens around 500 BC...Athena's symbol, the owl, now an international symbol of wisdom. The letters 'AOE'--or more precisely, "Alpha Theta Epsilon" or "Athe"--form an abbreviation of "Athens".

Version of a paper clip. One side is a raised replica of the 4th century temple, Parthenon. The Parthenon symbolises power and influence. The other side is a raised replica of the ancient 7th century symbol of an owl and olive branch that brings wealth and good luck.

My first thought was a sorority paddle or gift given by pledges to their big sister.

What It Was

Challenge Image: Muscle Massage (r) Check the PIP

I have been using this muscle massage(r) to roll over my lower back when it gets unbearably tight I can hardly walk. It does help ease the tension in the back but I have a MRI scheduled this week to see if they can determine the cause of the pain. The Doctor will evaluate and recommend the next step.
