Subject:Help identify language on antique bronze bowl please!
Posted By: Stuart Sat, Jul 17, 2021 IP: 92.9.84.36

Come across this heavy bronze bowl (about 8.5” dia) - ver plain, no decoration so thinking it might be a temple offering bowl? The only marks I have found on it are on the top rim of the bowl as pictured, but hoping someone can tell me what language the marks are please? Even better if someone can translate them!!
Many thanks for any help!

I'm going to guess that's one of several possible South Indian languages. Only a guess.

Looks like SANSKRIT, its the language used in the Hindu religion, and in the Buddhist religion.
