And yes............I know the rules and will also respect them! But....it came in today, and couldn't wait asking for help on the translation, so I quickly made a picture of text only because I had little time this afternoon. I made more images just half an hour ago, and will post them after uploaded them from my camera to my computer, if I find a little time this evening. And ofcourse I have taken better images of the text, hoping to get any translation.. Regards, Maurice |

Text close ups!
Here some close ups of the text!
Forgive me if the text is upside down. If so we have 3 options: Option 1: Turn your computerscreen upside down and try to translate! Option 2: Stand on your head before the computerscreen and try to translate than .......and if that don't work either, we still have option 3! Option 3: I will turn the images and post them the other way around...

Hello,
This is the ultimate way to embaress myself trough contributing to translation of script and language I don't read/speak. But I always facinated with translation so I give it a try, I just try to read the azimat using (my guide). I try to approach by Bahasa Indonesia instead of Bahasa Aceh (I don't speak Aceh). I believe you can't get a firm meaning without some help from Aceh speaker. Totally amaturish translation (might be totally error) but it turns out like the script was written by the sheath maker/smith/seller with record of pricing, names, etc. I hope somebody else able to contribute better translation. Please regard this as better than nothing  .Congrats for the new acquisition
