Bugis handle - translation script

Paul B. · 19th March 2018, 08:25 AM

Is there anybody who can help me translate this script?
On back of the base ( one character missing) and breast part there is a Quran verse texting? Handle probably coming from Celebes.

It is Islamic profession of faith "Laillahaillallah Muhammadurrasulullah"... there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah

Thanks! So that's the script on the back and what about the one in the circle?
I thought there was a date involved starting with 19...

The one in the circle is Muhammad on top and rasullullah in a rather abbreviated jumbled up arrangement... muhammad rasullullah...

Thanks! Could you solve these signs as well Mr. Green?
Three more with a 'simple' script.
One Celebes ivory handle.
One gilded Bugis pendok.
One wooden Madura handle.

The one on the pendok is a calligraphy of Allah and muhammad written inside it
the one on ivory handle is muhammad (in upside down position)
the one on madura handle I can not make it... will try to get arabic speaking people to decipher it..
