Same here

Counterclock at first, then clockwise once I realized it could be seen either way.

I suspect this is an example of optical illusions that can only be created in CGI. I've got terrible depth perception, so I pick up distance cues in other ways, such as superposition. This gem is shaded so carefully that which leg crosses in front of which cannot be discerned. Once I realized her foot could be seen as rotating in either direction, the rest fell into place... or apart, whichever.

But I suspect the object's 'true' rotation is counterclockwise as seen from above. Astronomers would call that 'prograde', I believe...
