Additional Comments:    4th scroll. First attempt at a Middle Eastern scroll. In advance of becoming a scribe, I had picked up a copy of "Crossed Quills" at Pennsic 28 (August 2000) with what was considered an alternative for Arabic script for a Middle Eastern persona. Looks kinda like musical notes, in a way....

Translations on the diamonds are from modern Arabic: Bellydancing, and archery - two of Rolanda's SCA hobbies when I was in the same SCAdian 'household'.
