...yes it does look like a crescent moon. I now think that the marking represents a comet - significant in the lore surrounding the appearance of the Mahdi (Nigmet al Mahdi) and also appearing during the siege of Khartoum.

I would be very interested to see any similar images - I couldn't find the one posted by Colin...
