Devnagari Script, its a Hindu seal to ward off bad luck/evil spirits. On the smaller screen it invokes Ganesha, god of luck and knowledge.

Google for Hindu Yantra Boards or something with Yantra, this is one of those.

Or I could be the demon inside that waiting for you to welcome me home! :o)

Great, now you've summoned the golem..we're all doomed.
Cthulily
But it doesn't summon a dybbuk.

Return it too the river. Trust me.
misslavada
I'm not sure what that is, but it looks Sanskrit and the star shape was used in Hinduism so it may not be Jewish at all.

@DogIsGreat had it, it's a Yantra: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yantra

Looks like hindi writing to me
CiraEssera
Arabic version of jumanji
ThatGuyWhoIsSkepticalOfEverything
It's written in Sanskrit. Seems to me that it's a hymn praising Lord Shiva.
TheCattyDee
I told her it was a hindu religious offering, she will be returning it to the riverside. Thanks for the great info guys!
izy2weird87
Looks like sanskrit
Ganth405
Jumanji!!
Myth0l0gical
Might be a religious text or symbol?
WOOPWOOPthatsthesoundofthepolice
that was probably thrown into the river for a pretty good reason... might want to throw it back unless you're some kind of hindu wizard
GloomyMP
It looks like it's meant to stamp. Do the letters make sense in mirror image?
IN005
I know that it's 24 carat gold plated ...
Slytherwin
I would take it to a local historical society. Or at least email them. Also, it looks like some type of Hebrew. Maybe email some pictures to
Slytherwin
A local Rabbi?
advicedoge77
it's 100% not hebrew

Sanatana dharma. In Hinduism, term used to denote the “eternal” or absolute set of duties.

Why is Pluto on that image? It wasn't discovered until the 30's. Seems like a late addition to a religion older than Christ.
HawasKaPujari
1. This is in Sanskrit, it is some kind of religious object generally called yantra(lit. mechanical object), there are various prayers.
HawasKaPujari
2. On Top left hand, it is invocation to the lord of Trident: Shiv Middle Top: Prayer to god of Rain: Indra Top Right hand: Fire god
HawasKaPujari
3. Followed by Shakti(power or Goddess Shakti). Also note that there is mention of directions top is East and Bottom is West left is North
HawasKaPujari
4. Right is south. Each direction has associated deity. Like North is Treasury god and South is God of death.
HawasKaPujari
5. In middle Orange, goddess of wealth, goddess Kali and other goodess are being offer prayers. There is mention of Ganesh in centre hex.
TheCattyDee
Thank you, best answer
HawasKaPujari
I didn't write details for all of them, but the generally ideas is that there is religious significance of arrangement and various verses.
SpaceJew
It summons accountants.
SpaceJew
But really what ever that is it's probably old as crap. Where did you find it?
SpaceJew
That doesn't look like hebrew on a star of David. Which is pretty odd
arranrp
not really it's a symbol used in many of the worlds religions
DogIsGreat
Seeing as it has "24 carat gold plated" written on it in English I doubt it's old.
greenandpointy
I don't know what it is, but those are Hindu religious chants and they make reference to Hindu gods Indra and Shiva.

That does not look like Hebrew script. That looks more like Devanagari script. I have no idea what this is.
CircleJerker
It's Sanskrit.
Gaiashining
Can confirm, not Hebrew.
Applelion
Jews also migrated to India. Although the symbol is more likely coincidental than a find like that.
amieeblair
Arabic??
phunkyphreshwithaph
Not Arabic. Maybe Sanskrit?

Sanskrit is one of many languages written in the Devanagari script.

princeofvallachia
This is correct. It's a Haridra Ganapati yantra
imdamom
Disagree. Doesn't look like it and lacks the standard Star of David.

It's Hindu, it means beginning less and endless, dharma. Thats a pretty auspicious find. Thanks for sharing.
imdamom
Why the Star of David then?
FuckGlitter
Ok..... But some context would be great. Like for the rest of it.....
dcfrenchstudent
called a tantra plate. the specific mantra in the closeup is the haridra ganesh mantra which supposedly "cures" impotency.
FuckGlitter
Thank you

Sikh find bro
HawasKaPujari
No, It is in Sanskrit.
ThatGuyWhoIsSkepticalOfEverything
Hindu is a religion. Hindi is the language. This is neither of those.
AlaSnackbar
It is actually both. It's a Hindu artifact with prayer mantra stamped into it written in Sanskrit ( basically harder form of hindi)
ThatGuyWhoIsSkepticalOfEverything
Sanskrit is one one of the languages I know. Hindi too. Hindi, Bengali and a whole lot of other Indian languages originated from Sanskrit *1
ThatGuyWhoIsSkepticalOfEverything
But calling Sanskrit a harder form of Hindi is like saying Latin is just a harder form of English.
AlaSnackbar
Good to know you know the diff. Not everyone does. This is how I've explained it to people who have zero idea.
