The attachment is an antique I purchased in Thailand in the mid 1980's.  I was told it was a gift, given by Buddhist Temples to people leaving donations.

 

Can you please translate into English, the four symbols seen in the attached photo.

 

 

Thank you very much,

 

Fred Zorbas

The four characters are:

left:

梭(suō) 
吞(tūn) 

 

However, I'm not sure the meaning. Maybe Buddha's name?

 

right:

佛(fó) 
祖(zǔ) 
 
佛祖 (fó zǔ ) that's Buddha.

梭呑 is the buddha's name, or how this buddha is called.  It could be from the name  of the place where the buddha statue is located in Thailand.
