ishvar2 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Not seen this one before - stumbled upon it looking at the Wallace Collection in london. The description says the inscription is in Sanskrit but I don't think so!

dalsingh101 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Definitely Gurmukhi. Can't make out what it says though. Do you reckon it's worth contacting them and telling them it's Sikh? Maybe trying to get a hi res image of the text to try and identify it? Edited May 17, 2011 by dalsingh101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyhp32 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you start from the top left hand corner you can clearly make out "ek onkar", unfortunately the buckle obscures the rest of the text but after the buckle you can make out " Aas Guru Nanak Ji Ki" then the buckle and line below "Jaagihro Pehro Loha" On the right hand side it starts " Saariye --- jeetay Doot Sidaar" Then the buckle and line below " --- din rakhay raat raakhay " 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
