It has some decorations but nothing I recognize as readable text. Looks like the six pointed star maybe, but some of the markings have unfortunately worn away. I took some closeups of the decorative elements or the traces thereof. See pictures attached.

Persian ones are nice, but ottomans made great ones, but very very rare.

I don't think I've seen any of those. Now I'm curious.
