What is this?

[markomafija]

Hello guys, if found this couple of hours ago in north Serbia, can someone tell me what is this, and how old is this, there is a silk in that, one guy told me that this is a message written on silk but idk, so if any1 of u can help me thank u in advance, btw i don't want to open it, maybe it's gonna decay.

May be a note holder for a carrier pigeon.

 

[markomafija]

Hmm idk, i think its too old for that

Messenger pigeons have been used for close to 1000 years. I’m certainly not saying that’s what this piece is but I would not dismiss it as a possibility. It’s a very interesting piece and I’m curious to know what it may be. I wish there was a safe way to remove the “paper” and see if there’s indeed any writing that has survived. That said I would certainly leave it be for now.

I looked close to it, and its not paper its silk, so idk how old is this, if i ever open it i will tell u what is in there

Prayer capsule.(?)
"Hirz amulet" with Qur'an verses inside maybe.

With the 2 Loops, It may have been Worn like a Necklace
and either Carry a Love Sonnet , Religious Quote Or Medical Records.

Maybe Even Owner information on a Dog Collar.

The Carrier Pigeon Idea also Intrigues me

Yes I would consult an expert about removing that. It would be a game to destroy something important.

 

[markomafija]

I have no idea but the scroll case is actually made from silver

 

[markomafija]

Well, in our country we don't have experts for that

you want an answer to what it is, but you don't want to open it? I don't get it. If you found a locked box, would you just leave it locked forever? Take the contents out and see what it is

Very interesting piece, possible historical significance.

Yeah it looks like this hirz, but what is the silk doing in there xDDD

He’s concerned about destroying what’s inside as it’s obviously fragile and has been in the elements. He already opened the “box”.
