German 77mm Case - Turkish, Arabic, Islamic, Trench Art ?

Hello Folks -

Acquired this a month or so ago and was hoping someone could help with identifying the origin of the trench art and possibly translating the writing in the four panels toward the base? It has images of birds, monkeys, rabbits and dogs each in their individual panel.

It's a Magdeburg dated April, 1917 - 77x~148mm.

Thanks for looking and any help that may be forthcoming!
- Mike
