Thank you both. I will see what I can do about getting better pictures (I apologize for these aweful pics ).

Hope our Arab friends on the forum can help in the translation.

Nice example.
The inscriptions read:

Work of Muhammad Shah

O Muhammad!

Allah, O Muhammad, O Ali!

Thank you so much Ham.

When I get back home I'll get those measurements for you Jens.

Pictures will have to come later.

I was just wondering, if this is calling out to Ali as well, could this have belonged to a Shi'ite raja. There were some Shi'ite groups in India.

Enjoy

Definitely worth some days of rice and beans, Jose! Nice brass work. What did you use to cut it out?
