Description

Artwork Description: This Vintage 9-inch Copper Wall Plate features a beautifully hand-etched depiction of three Whirling Dervishes in the sacred Sufi dance known as the Sema, inspired by the mystical poetry and teachings of Jalal al-Din Rumi. Crafted in fine detail with rhythmic precision, the trio of dancers radiate a sense of divine motion, capturing the essence of spiritual ecstasy and i er stillness. The warm patina of the copper enhances its vintage appeal, while the traditional Mevlevi symbolism reflects a deep reverence for unity, divine love, and the turning of the soul toward the eternal.

Perfect as a meditative wall display or as a meaningful gift for those drawn to Rumi, Sufism, or sacred art traditions. Artist: Sufi Artisans Artist Description: This piece likely originates from a workshop influenced by the Mevlevi Order, a Sufi brotherhood founded in the 13th century in Konya, Turkey, based on the spiritual teachings of the Persian poet and mystic Jalal al-Din Rumi. Artisans inspired by Mevlevi themes often work in copper, brass, or ceramic, using hand tools to etch, emboss, and shape visual interpretations of spiritual movement, sacred geometry, and poetic symbolism.

The imagery of the Whirling Dervish—arms outstretched, one hand raised to the heavens and one to the earth—serves as a symbol of the soul s journey through divine love. While the specific maker of this plate is unknown, it represents a long-standing tradition of devotional craftsmanship rooted in the mystical heritage of Sufi Islam.
