A Bulgarian wandering in 18th century Ireland would be a rarity indeed.
Is there any other direction you can approach looking for his name? His daughter's baptism perhaps?

It reminds me of the raised impression you often find on degrees and diplomas etc..

I have seen similar on old postcards, which could be coloured in, though none quite as intricate as the one in the photo.

You're always better work backwards than forwards.
Start with what you know - names of children etc., land holdings, if any, and try and make the link.
