Qajar ? damascened eagle calligraphy

Hello dear members,
I would like to show you this large eagle, 20,8 inches high...
Iranian origin i think.

Really well made of damascened steel.

The golden central calligraphy contains
''Bismillah el Rahman el Rahim'' but maybe there is another script.
I was looking for a date or a signature but I don't know...

Sure, date and signature could help to fix the period,
It seems Qajar and is really well made but maybe it's more recent work,
In Qajar 19th- early 20th damascened steel birds statues,
I find a lot of Peacocks, pigeons, falcons but could'nt find
( what I think is ) an eagle...

Help is welcomed

Kind regards
