     Turns out one of the big bosses at work wants to look into this item a bit more, so it was ended until we can find out some more.   This is a good thing usually it seem for the most part they don't care too much about what the item is and we just post and see.  Maybe this will be a trend to look a bit more on items that could be special.  Again I will start to dig some more and I will let you know about any further developements.

I'm so glad!  Maybe the Center for Burma Studies at Northern Illinois University mentioned earlier will have some answers?  Best of luck and keep us posted - no pun intended  :)

Hi Ironlord - I finally heard back from my colleagues in Burma, and, unfortunately, none of them recognize the script as Shan.  That doesn't mean that it's not an ancient script, just that, in 2013, they can't read it.  Sorry not to be more help, but I was wondering if you had heard any more back.

Good idea

Is it all text ? I've seen Burmese religious / educational books like this.
