Arabic Script on the Brooch

1 Attachment(s)

Here is the small silver brooch with what seems to be a stylized Arabic inscription. Hope our Arabic speaking colleagues will be able to translate it.
Thanks in advance.

I think the first word on the right is “Allah”

Squared Kufic style of Arabic.

There's some interesting examples of this in the following link; you'll need to scroll down a bit:

Thank you Bob and Battara,
I agree it is a Kufic style. I'd be interested to know if such "Kufic style" can be read/translated by someone who reads Arabic.
