Hi Dav
the cartouche;
-
AMAL HASSAN ??? either
MADE BY HASSAN, for the upper line we have a problem,
by extrapolation, due to some erase, we should read "
HOM" what is non sense, coze the translation could be;
-
MADE BY THE MOTHER OF HASSAN ...
very hard to imagine a woman blacksmith, in Muslim country
very sorry for "Atlantia", but despite his efforts to translate the date,
we guess that it's 1310 (or
1892 Gregorian) and not 1315
I agree that it's look like a circle, but really too small to be read by Arab natives, as digit 5
SULTAN BIRATI ... the name it's not Arab, could be Perse, or even Indian ...
"Birati" it's a locality in the city of Kolkata
(formerly known as Calcuttā) West Bengal, India
all the best
