Sébile (kashkul) de mendiant, Iran, XIXe siècle, collection David, Kronprinsessegade, Amalienborg, Copenhague, Danemark.

Laiton à décor de laque.

 

Une sébile (du latin cibus, « nourriture »), est un petit récipient en bois ou en terre, rond et creux. Il sert en particulier aux pauvres à recevoir l'aumône ou à collecter l'offrande lors d'une cérémonie religieuse.

 

Kashkul ((Persian: کشکول‎), Kashkūl, pronounced: kashkool) also referred to as the beggar's bowl is a container carried by wandering Dervishes (belonging to the Sūfī sect of Islam) and used to collect money and other goods (sweets, gifts, etc.) usually after a street session of poetry recitation, religious eulogies, advice or entertainment. The container, usually a bowl shaped like a ship, is made out of material such as coco-de-mer shell, clay, metals (usually brass), wood or ceramics and is hung over the shoulder using a metal chain.
