This qalamdan is signed sadeq az lutf-e 'ali ashraf shud, 'Sadeq was ennobled through the grace of 'Ali in AH 1176/1762-63 AD.'

This is a pun on the name of Muhammad Sadeq's teacher, 'Ali Ashraf. For a box signed by Sadeq using the same formulae, see R.W.Ferrier (ed.), The Arts of Persia, Yale, 1989, p.248.
