Yawanawá • Bamboo Kuripe - Colored Threads 1081

About the Yawanawá Kuripe Pipe Experience the craftsmanship and authenticity of a handmade Yawanawá kuripe, a traditional Amazonian kuripe pipe used to self-administer rapé (hapé) during ceremony. Crafted from locally-sourced bamboo and adorned with colorful hand-wrapped threads, each kuripe pipe highlights the distinctive artistry of the women who make them, ensuring every piece is a one-of-a-kind ceremonial tool. Designed for self-application, this rapé applicator pipe offers the precise V-shape needed to deliver the medicine from hand to nostril with intention and ease. The form supports the traditional practice of administering rapé during personal ritual, prayer, and sacred contemplation. Produced in small batches rather than mass quantities, every kuripe serves not only as a functional ceremonial instrument but also as a collectible expression of authentic Amazonian craftsmanship.
