It isn't Burmese, the script is Lao ("Lao-Tham"/"Lao-Dhamma"), which
effectively means that it comes from no further west than Northern
Thailand (i.e., it certainly doesn't look Shan).

It also doesn't look very old --notwithstanding the holes bored away
by the termites.  I would presume it's of entirely modern origin.

E.M.
