baoding balls

owo-red These were my sister's. I think she used them for meditation or stress relief. My boys liked them because they chime when you roll them. We lost her nearly thirty years ago, and each of the boys chose something to remember her. One picked her Calvin and Hobbes cartoon books. The other picked these balls.
