Dancing Dervish of Khotan
He is what might be termed a Mohammedan sacred tramp, who travels from place to place with a group of other religious enthusiasts, giving performances of mystic dances. The old dervish's huge turban of green cloth (the color of the Prophet) is surmounted by tufts of black yak hair.
