[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 299095, member: 2844"]Very nice handle, David. The headdress of a Dervish is called a 'siqqa', it signifies the gravestone of the ego. In Sufism, as in mystic traditions elsewhere, the abandonment or death of the ego is a prerequisite for the process of opening up to God. Definitely some kind of artificial material, from a mold. The lines in the beard and face are not carved, there is a dimple in the siqqa, and blobs above his left eye (none above the right eye).[/QUOTE]
