<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 2280718, member: 75799&quot;]CEYLONESE&nbsp; larin were technically all imitative. The originals originate from Persia but for reasons best known to the Kandyan Ceylonese and Maldivians, they like it so much that they adopted it as a popular trade coin. But rather than importing originals from Persia, the locals have adopted a local imitative version by cutting silver threads and applying crude imitative-Persian scripts on them. A Fish hook design became popular in the region not just from a practical point (what I read was that they were hooked on their belts or sashes as opposed to actual purses).. but also being seafaring people and a lot of fishermen (both were Islands by the way), the fish hook desigb may have a special preference to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
