[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 218759, member: 2844"]They do, but if it is Farsi the Afghan person would probably have been able to make sense of it, since Afghan language and script are related to Farsi. The subject matter is not culturally Persian but very Arabic, but that doesn't mean the painter can't be culturally Persian. The spelling of the name Akeel points to an area which has been under British rule. In areas that have been under French rule, the spelling is likely to be Aqil. Egypt and several Middle Eastern countries were under British rule. I think it is best to research the type of boat (a type of dhow) or find someone who can read Arabic. The idea of evelyb30 to go to a mosque is sensible.[/QUOTE]
