It's a silver hat used in religious rituals, the bowl goes on your head. The names on the side are religious figures, gods and priests.

Far to generous...in this instance it’s a “sun cult”
It’s kind of funny the worship of the sun, which a) actually exists; and b) is responsible for life on earth (not to mention stars generally are responsible for the elements that make up life) is cult status...but if you worship a “God” that is entirely faith based and more akin to a invisible friend, that is a sacred religion.
It is funny. But then again, almost everything in society relies on storytelling like that. The mainstream narrative is always flawed or biased, but everybody pretends it isn't.
