Thuluth calligraphy: How Widely Used on Weapons and Regional Application

Jim McDougall · 19th July 2010, 07:21 PM

Outstanding Kronckew !!! Theres one, and great example. I wish I had that Cato article which I think was about Islamic swords of the Philippines and was in "Arts of Asia" years ago. It seems that there were inscriptions on a number of Moro weapons and perhaps thuluth might have been used.
Thank you so much for helping with this

All the best,
Jim

Thank you kronckew. Now there is an Indonesian weapon here I was expecting a swamping of interest, but so far still rather slow. Members have the weapons African or Indonesian and esle where. It is difficult to move forward without participation.

We have the members that can read this stuff. How do the readings differ?

I made this last pic fit my monitor.
