Salaams Sir!

Unfortunately, the Arabic inscription is incomplete. There are some missing words and missing parts of words, but I was able to read:

عمل اسحق

"Made by Ishaq [Isaac]"

Could you please send us more clarifying photos for the Arabic inscriptions?

Thanks a lot in advance, Sir!

Best regards,
Ahmed Helal Hussein
