Subject:Museum needs help deciphering calligraphy

Hi Everyone,

Our museum studies people encountered a bowl, probably purchased in  
the Middle East in the 19th century, with ornamental calligraphy.  I  
can decipher some Arabic words there, but not all.  Can anybody  
suggest someone who might be able to interpret such calligraphy?  Or  
better yet, is there anybody on the list who is willing to rise to the  
challenge of 19th century calligraphy?

Cheers,
Allon
