If you could re-post photos taken with different (lower) light level, it might help whoever steps in to help you. Report this Post to the Staff

jaberwoke Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 11:52 am Thought I'd help a bit. Adjusted using MS Photo to reduce light: Report this Post to the Staff
johnkerry1972 New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 8:42 pm Wow thanks for the help! I can't take the picture in any lower light condition as it is taken with my handphone. So no one knows what it is? Report this Post to the Staff

Also, as Seeker55 has already mentioned, you are more likely to get an answer if you post the diameter and weight. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 10/11/2021 6:21 pm The writing on it is Arabic, and it appears to be made of lead, tin or some similar base-metal. My best guess is that it is from pre-colonial Indonesia or Malaysia. Something like one of these, from the Sultanate of Acheh in north-west Sumatra. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
