"To the humble scribe Mahee of Acre of the Kingdom of Ansteorra does the lady Kayleigh McWhyte, Mercenary Scribe of the Kingdom of the East send from afar greetings & thanks for his teachings and skill in the words of his beautiful homeland."

Inside the white and blue arabesque: Sucran (Translation from modern Arabic: Thank You).
 

This piece was done in appreciation of the assistance and teaching of Lord Mahee, who guided me in the style of Arabic calligraphy. The script used in this piece is his own "pseudo-Arabic", which contains actual Arabic calligraphy, rearranged to read in English if read from left to right (Arabic reads from right to left, and will read as gobbledygook in this case). It was with Mahee's guidance and wordsmithing that the Silver Crescent for Lord Arab Boy (now Master Ali Abbas al Gazzaz) was created by my hands.
