ASSIB JAMBIYA FOR COMMENT AND TRANSLATION

Hi Stu,

You're going to soon need bigger walls!

I can see a date '1378' which is 1958/9.
I wonder what the significance of the 'wheel' is?

Thanks Lew and Gene.
Lew....the family you mention is the Al'Amari, who were in operation (as you say) up until about 1930. Although the date is later, I will have to await a kind translation of the text to be sure that it is in fact Al'Amari.
Gene....Can't at this stage comment on the "wheel" but am awaiting a reply from Steve, so may have further info later. Wall space? What wall space?

Since the quake we have mother in law staying so every spare bit of storage is full. Even have trouble getting to my display cupboard!

Well mate, at least having your mother in law staying is concentrating your mind on weapons

No wonder you've been buying so many recently.

Seriously though. I'll be interested to hear the results of the translation

Very difficult to decipher the writing. Other photos might help.
