Thank you Kubur and CharlesS for posting your pieces. It‘s great to see new things and to learn! 
 
I think faqir here means “poor” rather than “dervish”, though you’re right that it could have that meaning. It’s quite common for artisans to sign things with a self-deprecating adjective such as “poor” or “humble” or to call themselves “servant” or “slave”.  
 
And yes definitely Shi’i!
