I believe that the Moroccan flag up to 1915 incorporated a star with six points, (Solomon's Seal).

Thanks for the comments above. I was a bit hesitant about describing the star as the Star of David, as it is (usually) related to the Jewish Faith. As has been pointed out though, it also appears widely in Islam and as a matter of interest was/is also found on Wilkinson swords.
What I am most interested in finding out is the association of the fish and snake symbals.
