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 a small round flap of unleavened bread that is rolled up like a scroll.
[1][2][3] It is distinct from the pihta and faṭira, which are flatbreads that are not rolled up.
[3] The ṣa is also mentioned as the 'great first sindirka (male date-palm)' in the Scroll of the Great Baptism (line 139 f.).
