    I found these bark scrolls amongst my grandmothers things and they are at least 70 years old. The language appears middle eastern? I would really appreciate any information about their origins.

      If you could give a clearer pic. of one it would help. Looks a bit like cursive Georgian.

      Thank you. A better image should be up now. If you are able to translate or could recommend someone, I would love to know what the whole thing says

      Sanscrit???Thaï or Cambodian??? prayer rolls???
    4. suebrown, 11 years ago
      Yes I wondered about prayer rolls. I found them inside the Chinese wicker basket (see other items) and thought they might be part of a wedding present to my grandparents? It remains a mystery until I can translate them...

      So, it confirm Asian, but certainly not Chinese writing :-)
      You may search for writings I suggested an look for similarities.

      Thanks T A. Is that good guess or are you sure? My next dilemma will then be finding a translator.
