Artifact from the past



Yesterday was the Hari Raya Haji festival for the year 2011.

As usual we all 'Balik Kampung' which was really a 30-40 minutes drive from my house.. heheh.

My mom showed me an artifact that was given to my dad some 30 years ago by a Samaritan he had helped. The artifact was 'lost and found' many times over the years. I had seen it before when I was younger and until it was found very recently all of us had forgotten about it.

I had taken a few photos of the artifact and some of it is appended here.
The piece of oval shaped copper is roughly about 2.5 inches long and about 1 inch plus wide

If any you readers have any information please let me know as I'm anxious to find out the origins of the artifact.




Oval Shaped Copper with inscriptions of  the Syahadah and a 'cube' symbol (representing the Kaabah?)



The other side is inscribed with 'Bismillah and  7 'Yasins' and also the number '800'
