I do not mean to impose but you have shown some remarkable talents of translation and I have been trying to figure this on out for a while.If you can help I would greatly apreciate it.I also might impose on you for a few others if you don't mind
Thanks ![]() ![]() |

Alan62,
This is not Arabic, I don't think Bj211 can assist much. It looks Thai or Indian......(I may be wrong). Last edited by Alam Shah; 28th March 2006 at 03:04 AM. |

Dear Alen
No imposing at all.. I agree with ham… that's Pagspa, they're Tibetan characters.. I’m sorry my friend I’m afraid you need to show it to some expert in Asian languages to figure it out, since it’s a very nice piece artistically. I’ll be glade to see other pieces and help in any way.. bj |

It is such a pleasure to see all these mysterious lines of inlay to reveal their secrets! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
ANy ideas on the inscription of the blade bellow? This must be a special style of calligraphy, can you read this one? It could be in Turkish language with arabic script. |

Tangka or Thangka (a Tibetan word meaning "silk, satin or cloth painting scroll") have been in Tibet for centuries. In Tibetan, "tang" means "unfolding" or "displaying". Tangka is created with the intention of showing the painting art to the public. The content of most Thangka is mainly the images of Buddha, or reflection of lift stories of eminent monks and folk customs. The structure of Tibet Thangka is precise, balanced, plumpy and changeful. The painting methods are mainly bright color and line drawing. Imo only, I may be wrong. ![]() Last edited by Alam Shah; 29th March 2006 at 03:33 AM. Reason: correction... |

Thanks Alam Shah
This is information I found that shows her on horseback riding across a sea of corpses and is like the one I have if you look closely at the one I have it has many of the same attributes as many on the linked page.It is confusing to me because there are so many depictions and they are very close. I thought is was Palden Llamo at first and then I found the Magzor Gyalmo .That is what confuses me, The descriptions. It is Palden Llamo and it is Magzor Gyalmo and Shri Devi and ect....ect... Here is another link I had saved from my searches.It is interesting that she is the only female among 8 dieties to protect ,but like I said it is very confusing as she seems to take on many forms. Very interesting stuff, that is for sure and very detailed beautiful artwork Thank you for your help http://www.khandro.net/deities_female_PaldenLhamo.htm http://www.himalayanart.org/search/set.cfm?setID=358 Last edited by Alan62; 29th March 2006 at 04:33 AM. |

Hi eftihis,
Thankx a lot and I’m glad that you like it.. About this blade, I can’t really see any “ clear “ Arabic in there.. Maybe I’ll try to clean up the picture a bit, till I find something.. I’ll let you know if I get something out of it.. |

Hallo bj211, it is not that i just like it, like everyone else here i am in a "fever" anxious to see the translations of pieces that i have, but also to see the items of other members to tell us their secrets. By the way what is the society you were telling about to Ham?
I am glad speaking to you! |
