Wow Rick...That one is really different! My guess is it was made at the time of the quest for the holey grail during the Crusader times.

Or possibly....it was part of the home poker set made for the Spanish explorer Ponce De Leon. His moto: "Pick a direction, any direction"

This of course shouldn't be confused with the confused West Virginian explorer Bocefus Jones, who's best known for his moto: "Y'all can't git there from here"

Just a couple possibilities.
