Whirling Dervish Wall Art: Paintings & Decor
Whirling dervish art and paintings
The whirling dervish comes from the sema, the turning prayer of the Mevlevi order that grew from the teachings of Rumi. With one hand turned up to the sky and the other down to the earth, the dervish has become one of the best known images of Sufi art. Most pieces here are whirling dervish paintings on canvas, with a metal piece, a wooden piece, a candle holder and a pendant in the same theme.
