Not quite Gav. It needs the deep chiseling and the right profile to be a budiak.

a quick clean and an etch
Here are some of the finer details of the twistcore head. I found a little time this morning to give it the once over and a quick etch.
Can the script be read? Or is it just gobbledygook? Gav |

Very nice pattern!
 Now all we need is someone who can either read Arabic and/or Jawi......... |

That cleaned up beautifully! I think this is going to turn out to be a readable inscription.
