Unusual Stamped Silver Mark on Plated Coffee Set

Post by towhomitmayconcern »

Looking for some help in identifying this mark on a coffee set with a loose provenance to the Iraq palace of Saddam Hussain. The mark shows the profile of a long haired individual encircled by script. Thanks for looking.

Hello

The Arabic reads "fidda mumtaza"

Please see viewtopic.php?p=178483&hilit=mumtaza#p178483

Not much help about origin I realize

Hello again

I found the same items posted on another site with additional photos

One of the words above the head looks like العروسة (the bride). Perhaps the image is the head of a bride?

Can you post crisper images of the text both above and below the head and of the head itself?

Thanks

Thanks for posting but unfortunately the images don't display.

I can't advise on that point so perhaps more knowledgeable members can help
