Found this washed up in the Maldives

Hi there - newbie here but I bumped into this while swimming in the sea in the Maldives and wondered if anyone knew what it was?! It appears to be a white plastic cap of some kind with 4 orange moulded swastika's surrounding it (one has popped out and is missing). There are ridges which look like they would allow it to lock into place and a strange rounded design on the top of the cap moulding.

I've added the images into a shared google doc here as they were too large to upload: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kBg ... sp=sharing

Any ideas?!

Sorry no idea, but guess it's some modern age thing of indian origin since the swastika in hinduism symbolizes the sun.
