Tepi

The Tepi is a ceremonial pipe used by Amazonian tribes to administer Rapé to another person, symbolizing connection, trust, and the transmission of sacred medicine. Unlike the self-administering Kuripe, the Tepi facilitates a dynamic exchange between the giver and the receiver, fostering a shared sacred moment. These pipes are handcrafted from natural materials like sustainably sourced woods, bones, or bamboo, often adorned with intricate carvings, sacred symbols, or tribal art, such as kene designs and feathers.
