Can anybody here read Hebrew or know someone who does?

[WilliamB]

I have a sculpture my wife and I acquired in a storage auction. It has writing on it, that appears to be in Hebrew. The gold lettering, we were able to determine is Christopher Columbus' signature.

If anyone can read this or can help point me in the right direction of someone who can, I'd really appreciate it.

The large pics can be found here:

I'm not an expert, just a student...and that does not appear to be Hebrew to me...but then it is sculptured. It could be Arabic... or even Syriac.

Yeah, someone else suggested in might be arabic. Hoping someone can help me nail it down. Thanks a lot Dr. Jean!

I would check out sanskrit.

I am relatively fluent in Biblical Hebrew.
