The 'Al Yildiz' (=moon star) was actually the device used on the Ottoman flag in the 19th century, and did of course fly over Egypt in those times. The modern Egyptian flag is multistriped, with Eagle of Saladin on white center stripe . The Turkish flag still carries the Al Yildiz.

Not really important on this 'item' but placed it anyway.....back to the dancing girls

All best regards,
