<div>I sent this question a few moments ago and it bounced because for some reason I attached 4 copies of the jpeg image unintentionally. This mundane friend of mine Steve collects vintage and medieval beer steins. I don't have the knowlege to answer his quesiton with any certainty. It doesn't look religious to me but I thought perhaps somone in the Barony would know more about it. I looked at heraldry and found many 5, 6, 8 and even more pointed stars but could not find a 3 pointed star. Not being a herald it might be called something else and that's why I didn't find it listed under stars.</div>
