Hi - can anyone translate this word found on an antique Mid-East desk? Please go to [-see the picture below-] to hopefully see the word (in script). Thanks

I can.

It seems to be a protosinaic alphabet. Or even arabic alphabet, but transcribing an other language.

salutations,

it looks like a mixture of arabic script with some hebrew letters.
we can read something like "al-tak..." in the start, and "...hiy" in the final.

best regards,
