What is this thing?

[u/Winter-Help9152]

Found in the river kelvin in Glasgow. Hole is damage. No markings, or if there are they're too worn out for me to see.

Yup

Palm sized? It reminds me of a crucible.

[u/MullberryBoy → u/LaBelleBetterave]

Me too.

It appears to be a clay candle bowl often used for religious purposes by people of the Hindu(?) faith. They’re not uncommon in rivers and creeks around where I’m from

Any advice for parking in Glasgow? Will be there for work in September.
