@nicola, first welcome to CCF. Second, while I am having some trouble with the second pic, the inscription on the first pic is the shahada so you certainly could be right about this being Umayyad. I'll keep looking around for a match.

No prob. I wish that I could be more helpful, but I'm all out of insight. However, there are a couple other folks who are more fluent than I am who may be able to chime in. Maybe pop back here to CCF occasionally to see if your thread has been updated.
