[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4606853, member: 2844"]If you rotate the picture the way you thought, you can see 'Allah' twice, once on the lower right and once on the bottom, the lines that include a W like shape. It isn't a Tughra, which is a personal seal, but imo it is a religious text or phrase condensed into artistically composed calligraphy. Maybe part of the 'Ayat al Kursi' or Throne Verse? Calligraphy is considered an important Islamic art form.[/QUOTE]
