Moroccan barrel inscription advice please

[Mel H]

Thank you, I was thinking that the script had something of a European look, I've added another picture. The barrel flares slightly toward the muzzle it is round with a flat portion on the top running the full length.
Due to tightness of the brass bands and the fragility of the wood I've decided That I will carry out some sympathetic restoration without the need to separate it.
