The Painting from Enlaka

 The painting from Enlaka is one of the most beautiful examples of the rovás inscriptions found on the panel ceiling of the Unitarian Church in Udvarhely, Transylvania. The inscription is enframed in a Hungarian folk-style decoration ("tree of life") and is accompanied with ancient Hungarian and Sarmatian symbols (at the bottom).

The writing starts in Latin: Deut:vi, then it continues with rovás:

eGY AZ ISTEN GEORGYIUS MUSNAI DIAKON

The English translation is: One is the God, George Musnai deacon.
