This type seems a new one ! with an unusual legend...
The word "Raij" is followed, I think,  by the word "aman امان " (safely current ? ") , If I'm correct, it's the 1st time it appears...

I come back to this enigmatic civic copper... the bird looking back is close to Val.25 (Borujerd p.131) ?

I asked to an ornithologist; he said : "strange bird...if I saw one, I would not get too close !  :D " and suggested a serpent-eagle (serpentaire bacha)

I guess I haven't lived in France long enough. My reaction would have been "strange bird...I wonder what it tastes like". ;)
