Thank you Dom, in that case I have to concur with both you & Alex., as the inscription is much cruder than the floral work & in different method.

Your help is of great value.

Thanks again to all.

Just to play devils advocate I would suggest that the inscription was made before the wirework decoration was applied... ? The solder used to fix the wirework runs over/into the inscription in places, ie the tip of the lions tail... something not possible if the inscription was done after the wirework decoration...
