Another thing: I wonder what are the (cuneiform-like) scriptures
sourrounding the Peacock Angel (Melek Taus) displayed on this famous Yazidi
plate?

(Yazidism is one of the three old Yazdani religions in the bordering Kurdish
regions of Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syrian Coast, they are derived from an
old Sabian or culture, related to some other old Semitic traditions, before
Islam appeared and became prevalent in those regions; they recognize most of
the "13 principles of faith", also shared, in slightly modified forms,
between Judaism, Christianim and Islam, although they were formalized by a
controversed medieval Jewish thinker, but still recognized and normally
protected under Islamic Sharia, which most often mixes them with
Christians).
Is it really scripture with textual meaning or other symbolism?
