IslamiCity Forum - Islamic Discussion Forum: Trying to translate antique Arabic caligraphy

Message

   Hi everyone. 

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I have an old Egyptian bronze plate which has been with me for many years, and I have been trying to find help with translating the caligraphy. Below are some pictures, if anyone has any ideas I'd be very greatful.

Thank you.

Its hard to photograph, so I've altered the close up to show all of the panels with highlighted caligraphy.

Here is a portion of the plate just photographed normally.

	Sorry, no idea. Perhaps the Arabic knowers here can help.

	Asslamu Alaikum These are some of Allah 99names as I can see and Allah knows the best. I could read: Allah, Al-Ahad, Al-samad, Al- Adheem. They are very beautiful, masha' Allah. Are they on a vase or what?
