I suppose this might have been a tad esoteric.
The answer is mid to late 8th century, known as the Nara period in Japanese history. The prints are known as the Million Pagodas with Dharina Prayers. They were a gift from the empress Shotoku to all the newly established Buddhist temples. The volume of the prints suggest that metal casting was used. Paul was closest with them being prayers, take it away. Last edited by Kumabjorn; 01-22-2013 at 02:00 AM. |

Stumped too.
To put it a little bit to pieces (maybe someone gets an idea from it): The first can be ONE or ARE The last sign might be a real question mark and no placeholder for a letter. After ten might follow a verb. Or this may all be totally wrong. |
