The picture was taken from the rear window of a car. (The horizontal lines are the heated window)

I don't know the answer yet, I though I would throw it out there.

I do know the owner of the car though, I can ask him anytime .

Him being Hungarian might be a clue or it may not.

I could be totally wrong , but it's like some sort of planetary symbol , possibly representing life , in a religious sense .

mumsie

Yes, I can see a bit of Christianity with Arabic.

Either that ^ or neighbours kids been practicing Spirograph skillz on his windscreen 😊

mumsie

I had to Google Spirograph.

I'll share my finds for the younger readers.

I asked my Hungarian friend, he said it was on the car when he bought it.

Could you ask him to contact the previous owner ?

mumsie

He then went on to say he bought it from Péter our other Hungarian friend.
And Péter said it's Hindu and it's a symbol to keep us safe.

Péter us in Barcelona ATM I'll get him to clarify when he returns.

I was intrigued by this, so I asked the question elsewhere, & the first answer suggested, was yes, it might well be a "Hindu Mandala".

A google image search for "Hindu Mandala symbols" gave us these results;

I'm further informed that.....

"its a simple Lotus Mandala, it symbolizes enlightenment and spiritual awakening"


Here's google image results for Lotus Mandala;
