Bronze aceh shield with islamic inscriptions
Hi there,
Last week I found this Aceh shield size 37 cm round. the decorations are very detailed but what more unusual is the islamic inscriptions. Can any help me with the translation? Arjan. |

Islam inscriptions.
Mmmm...
 Normally I would not be impressed by writing on Aceh items. I only see them on new made rencongs. But this shield is not new made at all. Maybe Alam Shah can assist ?  Ps. note that the text is not engraved or anything, it is actually casted with the shield. |

Hi Arjan
you have to ; - present your pics after an horzontal rotation to be readable - found a translator in "farsi" because if the alphabet is arabic, not the language, and by that way, the inscriptions are not islamic sorry if nothing more to help regards à + Dom Last edited by Dom; 6th December 2007 at 01:50 AM. |
