Can anyone read this script?
I know Pelicans are a diverse group here. Many speak and read multiple languages. So I'm asking if anyone can read this script.
It's my better half's ring. All we know is it's turn of the century and hand made. It's a cigar band ring. Can anyone read this or make sense of it?

LOL....I can't tell if you're being serious or not.
What language is the script?

^^I was worried about this....people giving me their interpretation of what the ring says.
I was hoping to get the right answer. We've wondered for years what it says. Nobody seems to know. Thought it might be worth a try here.

It looks middle eastern, but not Hebrew......there, I narrowed it down to a few dozen languages with a few dozen dialects each.
The inner band looks to have a good deal more patina than the rest. What's the composition? |

It looks like Buddhist script to me.
Is Vash a Buddhist?

^^^Someone said it could possibly be Sanskrit.
Sanskrit was used in Buddhist writings IIRC....

The writing says, Warning! Do not wear for more than 4 hours.
Something tells me it's not for your finger.
