The inscription reads: "CIVITHS REGIS REGVM OMNIVO " City of the King of Kings. The city of Jerusalem is represented by a wall with a gate. Above the wall are three principal monuments of medieval Jerusalem: the one on the right represents the Holy Sepulchre with its open dome, the one on the left the Temple (i.e. Dome of the Rock) surmounted by the cross erected by the Crusaders and removed by Salah-ed-din in 1187 and in the center is the Tower of David. Not sure that it has any value above and beyond any of the other knickknacks on that (flea market?) table.
