It is a "magician's token", used to promote the magic shows of Anna Eva Fay, an Indian-themed magician in America in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Run "Anna Eva Fay magic token" into Google Images and you'll get pages and pages of them, showing the basic types. This is one of the "Vishnu" types. Here's an old CCF thread with a different type, though with many of the same design elements.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
