Miswaaking Abdullah

The miswak (miswaak, siwak, sewak) is a teeth cleaning twig made

from a twig of the Salvadora persica tree (known as arak in Arabic

and peelu in Urdu). It has a long, well-documented history and is

reputed for its medicinal benefits. It also features prominently in

Islamic hygienical jurisprudence.

Wonderful image with an interesting character! Warm regards my friend.

Really a wonderful portrait, my dear friend!

In North  America  we call it  a   toothpick!

@ Mike

I am sorry to inform you that, this miswaak is a kind of natural brush from a plant called Salvadora persica tree. It is completely different from toothpick !

You may read more about this natural tooth brush here.

.If you were to look up the history of the toothpick it is equally if not even more fascinating then the story of the miswak..thanks for the link it will make for a good read tonight.

Excellent portrait and I appreciate the tidbit of trivia info as well.
