Hello

This is Arabic.

On the right hand side it says "Bin Isa" (son of Isa)

On the left I am less sure but believe it reads "AlKharrat" (lather, an occupational name like the English family name - Turner)

The image in the middle may represent a piece of lathed/turned wood

Al Kharrat is a family name in Egypt and Syria and undoubtedly other countries in the region

Hope this is helpful

Damon
