Translation is requested. I wonder especially the free style inscriptions out of the koftgari cartouches.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi erlikhan,
In the first inscription, there are some letters at the top. And I don't know their meaning. They are (elif-lam-he / Ha-vav-tı). Maybe ebced letters ?

Best,

Zifir, Thank you very much. Just trying to match the letters to the ones I checked on an alphabet guide, I deciphered the top-right inscription on the 1st picture as "ali". is it wrong?

Erlikhan, the letters at the top right are A(elif) L (lam) H (he) / the top left are H (ha) - V (ve) T (tı). They are written seperately, not forming words, that's why I called them ebced letters. Otherwise, the top right ones can be read as Allah, for example.
