> rahman: what exactly does it say? Is it in Malay?
No, it's not in malay. See the images that I had posted. It's more symbolic rather than an incantation.
Sorry, my Jawi is 'karat; (rusty). If it's not in Malay, what exactly does it say? Can u transliterate? and what is that kitab you used to decipher it?

The talismanic inscription on one side... (reference from Kitab Aji Mantra Guna), which translated to be "untuk menangkap maling". Accordingly, if a thief stole something from a place which is guarded by this talisman, the person would not be able to find his way out.

This reminds me of what my late father-in-law said. A thief came into his house one day, but somehow could not find his way out. My wife said he might have had a keris... sorry, I had World War III with my in-laws decades ago.
