    Hi,
    I’ve tried the letters I think and can’t figure it out so far. Anyone recognize the maker, origin, age, etc? It’s approx 9” tall and sterling silver. The only thing I am finding is that the whirling figure on the stamp is likely Muslim. I’m not really sure.
    Thank you for helping

    I think that the name is "MEVLANA". Comes up in Arabic culture at least.

    The image appears to be of a whirling dervish. That would point to Turkey.

    maybe I'm missing it, but is the piece marked sterling or 925?

    It tested on the XRF as sterling

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    @gauntlettgems
    You might have noticed the museum houses the resting place/mausoleum of the famous poet known as Rumi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumi) -- who was also known as Mevlâna, I've just learned.

    There is a chance that this vase(?) in the original post is from their museum shop. I see that they do have a shop, but haven't found out anything about it.
