Handmade Traditional Whirling Dervish hat, made in Konya (Turkey).
The whirling dervish hat is a traditional headgear worn by the Mevlevi Order, a Sufi Muslim order founded in Konya, Turkey, in the 13th century. The hat is also known as the "tall hat" or "sikke" in Turkish.
The whirling dervish hat is an essential part of the Mevlevi Order's attire and is worn during the Sema ceremony, which is a form of Sufi worship that involves music, chanting, and whirling. The hat is made of felt and is cylindrical in shape. It features a wide brim and a tall crown that tapers towards the top. The hat is typically black or dark brown in color and is adorned with a black or white band around the base of the crown.
The whirling dervish hat symbolizes the Mevlevi Order's spiritual journey towards enlightenment. The wide brim represents the ego's removal, while the tall crown represents the ascension towards God. During the Sema ceremony, the whirling dervishes wear white robes that represent their spiritual purity and spin in a circular motion to achieve a state of spiritual ecstasy.
