Sufi Dervishes Carried Coco-de-Mer Beggar’s Bowls for Alms and as Symbols of Renunciation｜蘇菲行者背著海椰子殼乞缽收布施，也把它當成放下世俗的象徵

The Met describes a late nineteenth-century kashkul carved from a coco-de-mer shell. Dervishes carried such bowls on chains to collect alms; in Sufi contexts the kashkul also symbolized a carrier of divine knowledge and spiritual renunciation.

Sufi orders and dervish practices多樣；館頁描述的是 kashkul 的一種歷史脈絡，不能把所有乞缽或所有蘇菲修行都化約成同一象徵。
