That is beautiful and the only 'real' ball bearing to date ....
It seems to have the 'celtic curve' design; Do you know how old it is?
could it be a 'curling ball' I wonder..

I dont know what a "curling ball" is. Are you meaning a "Hurley" ball? Hurley is a vicious and barbaric form of hockey which is still played in Ireland and the North East (Pictish Zone) of Scotland. Curling is played with polished forty pound granite stones on ice.

It actually looks a lot like a boule ball.

Strange its the only one ever found, unless it was a one off commission from an artisan...
