Please help, advice needed re artist signature

Vashti

Hello!

This is a long shot, but can anyone recommend where I can find an artist from signature.  I have tried online with no success.  I think the problem is I am having trouble making the signature out!  Looks like 'Kouf'?
I have a minature oil painting on copper, which I am told from family is very old. I would like to find out the worth, if any!

Many thanks, in advance.

Couldn't find anything with an image search. Or even a name search.

The artist may be ‘Koref’ or ‘Kory’ ?

Any clues on the back?

Denis - thank you so much for taking the time to help.  Appreciated.

Nothing at all on the back of the frame or the picture.  Its a small copper oval which is starting to deteriorate (upper left in frame) so have only taken it out once. 

Thanks

Perhaps even “Kouf”.
