Stamps with arabic script only in shaped forms

Match the image and/or inscription. Be aware that text is usually read from right to left and can be stylized and may not match exactly. We will try provide a useful number of examples. No blame for just matching up the image or overprint design.

Links are given for the Stamp Encyclopedia.

Arabic script is often rendered in shapes, like tughras, and so it is for some country names or identifiers on stamps.
