Sa (Mandaeism)

In Mandaeism, the ṣa (Classical Mandaic: ࡑࡀ) is a rolled-up piece of sacramental flatbread that contains nuts and raisins, is also used in ritual meals for the dead and has a phallic symbolism. It is rolled up like a scroll.[1][2]

It is distinct from the pihta and faṭira, which are flatbreads that are not rolled up.[2]
