Lolmafanu (or
lolamaafaanu) are
Maldivian texts in the form of copper plates on which inscriptions have been added. Many
Old Maldivian historical texts are found only in lomafanu form, with the oldest of the plates dating from the twelfth century AD. The
Divehi Akuru script used on the plates was named "eveyla akuru" by
H. C. P. Bell, who claimed that it resembled medieval
Sinhala script.
