The donor Edith Swieca is not clear on the provenance. She believes that her father-in-law must have given it to her brother-in-law, Sam Swieca before he came to Australia in 1938. She thinks that is was given to him as some sort of parting gift or good luck charm from Sciea (Shia), Poland and it could have been given to him in France which is where he departed from.
