Hi frens. Lurked here for years. Too scared to actually post, am an actual girl so maybe that's why I'm a bit of a pussy.
Anyway I would like help. I feel like I’m reaching out to the A-team. I'm in rural Ireland and most houses until recently had a sacred heart picture in the main room. My mother’s dad was a Prod (-testant) so she wasn't so down with the idolatry. I never was either and ponder if the countries idolatry tendencies and linked to the tribe of Dan effects on Irish Catholics.
Anyway for some reason I purchased the picture, initially for the frame, maybe for luck, maybe so it wasn't left there low down in a charity shop. Maybe because it was well finished at the back with hand written letters on the back that didn’t make sense.
Last night I was looking at it and checking out the symbolism and then I thought it looked a bit baphomet-esque. Researched more and the right hand down symbol is inverted as those on the right hand of God go up not down. Masonic. So I wish I hadn't brought it into the house now.
I reverse image searched and this is a common vintage sacred heart picture in Ireland.
Now I don't know what to do with it. But there is also the strange writing on the back.

What could that be? I tried the backward forward alphabet, tried some decipher websites. Is it a Latin abbreviation?
And I'm a little bit wanting to open the back in case there is anything hidden behind.
But if that's some warning I don't want to open Pandoras box.
