What could it be?
Daeg:
Hello, I'm a newbe here, I have a problem coz I want to know what could be the meaning of words on some "thing" on photos I post here. I thought it could be Coptic language?
What do letters on it mean? and what could that thing be, what are the symbols on it?
Thank you for any help!
Admin:
There is some letters
Since Coptic and Greek uses (almost) the same alphabet
this could be either Coptic Or Greek
There is a very few letters and I am not able to form a word from them
Maybe if you can give us more details about what is this thing, from where was it originated, what is it for maybe we can help better

Yes, I cannot find it was Greek or Coptic, it belongs to member of Egyptian family and was given from father to son in generations, the family came from Greece on the begining of 20th century, so it could be Greek as well, but not for sure.

Unfortunately I don't know answers for your questions. I know that it had some kind of herbs inside and it's very old thing.
I hoped anybody here saw something like this before.
Thank you anyway!
