Ottoman era Stamp Seal?

(1/1)

Mayadigger:
Ave!

Copper alloy; 31mm/7.7gm The seal is octagonal; 11mm/10mm.

As seen in the very ugly seal imprint, I see a lion crouching left, holding a scimitar. Not sure if all those squiggles above, below and about are Islamic legends, or simply decorations.

HELP!

SC:
Not my area of expertise, but the motif seems more like the late Iranian dynasties like the Safavids than the Ottomans.
