Any idea about this (possibly) Mid East makers mark?

In my affinity for brass drinking vessels, I have ended up with a "dallah" -- a brass coffee pot with an inscription I do not understand. Close-up and "full-figure shot." Oddly, the page has rotated first photo 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Fortuitously, the second photo is properly aligned. (They were both shot at the same orientation) The pot is about 14 inches, top to bottom.

I do believe this will be from that area of the world.  Like the artistry in these pieces!

Don't know if it will be here, but this is a good site to start with for maker's marks on old copper or brass.

Thanks! That is a large site. No translations yet, but I have not examined it all yet. I will go over every page if I have to. There are MULTITUDES of these under the search terms "antique brass dallah" and I even contacted an ebay seller who answered me (I sent photos) but did not know precisely when hers or mine were made.  Evidently, these items have been made in the same style for a couple of centuries at least, so I may never get a precise age on mine. Could be 30. Could be 230.  But whether this is modern or old, I am pretty sure it was hand made, not made by robot arms on an assembly line. Also, it is tin-lined, so ohhhhhhh yes I am going to drink from it! I am so f---ing nerdy that way.

Pardon my gushing, but I really like handworked metal, no matter where it is from. Maybe I need to get out more. LOL

Thanks again.
