Absolutely my pleasure Charles! and I thank you for the opportunity to view such a nice example. Rsword has one of the keenest eyes I know for unusual and key weapons, so I am not surprised he is with you in checking this one out!!
I hope one of our Arabic speakers out there will translate the Lohr panel, and maybe we can get some ideas on the rest of this unusual motif.
I know the moon symbolism and metaphor is often important in the things included in many cases within the poetic devotional passages as seen here.

Really looking forward to further discussion on this!!!

All the best,
Jim
