ISLAMIC TRANSLATION REQUEST ON A RENTJONG

[Maurice]

Hi Willem

can't help you with the translation......but........what a beautifull rencong.
Totally golden handle!
I've never handled such one before, and only have seen a few before on the internet, but from latter age, and far from as beautifull and old as yours!
You lucky you!!

Would love to see more images.

Rg,
Maurice

hmmm, I can red the top word, its "alamat" which means sign or symbol. The rest doesnt make sense to me.

Dear Lofti / Dom,

Thank you for your reactions.
So it is not arabic Language.

But the script is arabic I assume ?
I will check if Mohd, Tunggulametung or Jentayu can assist.

Best regards,
Willem

Yes the script is Arabic but may be in Achenese = Jawi.

BTW - would you post pictures of the whole thing please!

Hi Willem
you are correct, the script use the Arabic alphabet, as well as
- Persian ... but unreadable for Arabs
- Ottoman ... but unreadable for Arabs
and I may continuous the list

like as Frenchy, I'm using the same alphabet than you Dutch, but not for the same language

have a nice evening
