I found these bark scrolls amongst my grandmothers things and they are at least 70 years old. The language appears middle eastern? I would really appreciate any information about their origins.

If you could give a clearer pic. of one it would help. Looks a bit like cursive Georgian.
Thank you. A better image should be up now. If you are able to translate or could recommend someone, I would love to know what the whole thing says
Sanscrit???Thaï or Cambodian??? prayer rolls???
Yes I wondered about prayer rolls. I found them inside the Chinese wicker basket (see other items) and thought they might be part of a wedding present to my grandparents? It remains a mystery until I can translate them...
So, it confirm Asian, but certainly not Chinese writing :-)
You may search for writings I suggested an look for similarities.
Burmese?

Thanks T A. Is that good guess or are you sure? My next dilemma will then be finding a translator.
