Well, Bigwull, I see I have really offended you? Wouldn't it have been nicer to simply in a polite manner point out that the pictures aren't good? I don't know how to 'insert image', that's why I gave you the CRAPPY link to the pictures I have on photobucket.

I know the second picture is very small, I have to get a better one of that top side, but the second picture is fine, right? At least when I click on the link it shows up just fine. And if you read my text you know that it's the carving underneath the box I'm most interested in finding out about. Thanks.

Antique Questions Forum / Can you help me out with this box?

Hi everybody!

I bought this filigree box a few years ago, and I have tried to find about more about it, without luck. So now it's your turn, folks! =D
There isn't any hallmarks on it, but I think it's silver due to the results of a simple test I did at home with a match... The thing that is the most puzzling is the text carved underneath it, I simply can't figure out which language it is, not even after all my extensive research.

I would be thrilled to find out more about this box, the origin, purpose, age and perhaps someone even will help me find out what is says on it! =) That's really what I'm most eager to find out. If I can find that out, the other pieces of the puzzle will probably fall into place as well. So, sink your teeth into this challenge! =)

Thanks in advance!
