Can you help me identify this notation for piano?

[Sammysquiz]

Very grateful if anyone could tell me what this notation in the centre that looks like a snowflake means? And also the word after it (which looks like “Ted”!)?

Thank you!

Those are pedaling symbols. Ped is when pedal should placed and * is when it gets lifted.

Thank you so much! ‘Ped’ makes much more sense than ‘Ted’
